To use a power generator as a power source for your pump, you must follow the power on/off process.
Power On:
First, turn on the generator and allow it to warm up for at least 1 minute to allow the power to stabilize. Then, you may turn on the pump.
Power Off:
Reverse the above process. First turn off the pump, then turn off the generator.
We recommend that you install a 2-pole(for single phase) or a 3-pole(for 3-phase) switch in between the generator and the control box for switching On / Off the pump.
