120 VAC. It also provides DC power strictly intended for charging 12V automotive style batteries.

Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and equipment to make sure their power requirements are met by the power output of the generator. If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or piece of equipment, contact the tool manufacturer for wattage requirements.

NOTICE: Do not exceed the continuous rated output of the generator. Damage to tools or generator can occur. See Technical Data.

About power requirements

Some pieces of equipment and tools require a surge of current when starting. This means that the amount of power needed to initially start the equipment is larger than the power required to keep it running. The generator must be capable of supplying this "surge" current. Other equipment may require more power than is actually stated on its nameplate.

Approximate starting power requirements

The information in the following chart is offered only as a general guideline to help you determine power requirements for different types of equipment. Contact your nearest Wacker Neuson dealer, or the manufacturer or dealer of the tool or equipment, with questions regarding power requirements.
