    is this your first time using it? are you talking attaching on the grinder side? if so its well documented, you have to spread the wings on the pinch bolt section, and if you have air hammers, you have to walk it on. not sure what tech support is suppose to do for you here

    Question for electricians

    it has nothing to do with THD for ups's hating the generator, its because they expect the hertz to stay within .5hz, non inverter models tend to drift around 1 to 2 hz depending on load, this is what causes them to trip over and over. computers can give 2 sh*ts about thd quality they uses...

    the thing that blew my mind after years of playing with this stuff, was when the dc negative, ac ground, and ac neutral for the generator were all attached to the same bolt, for reason i thought that would screw with things, but its been like that for 25 years.

    you need to slow down and do 2 things, have your neighbor come back, have him check the voltage with the tractor off, idling and full throttle, you then need to check the amperage at idle and full throttle. if the voltage is over 10v at full throttle, you need to stop before you destroy another...
