Generators work by spinning a magnet inside a coil(s). These generators use an electromagnet and the electricity for this magnet comes from the voltage regulator. So running a set at lower than rated speed causes the regulator to max out. This burns the output transistor. Yes, I simplified...

Another issue not addressed in the TMs or LOs is oil level with respect to listed quantities. These engines have oil coolers which have a thermostat, the TM states oil is to be changed while engine is hot. Not specified is why, the hot oil lets the oil cooling system drain fully. Likewise...

The maximum current in three phase should be 17.3 amperes. Running 3 circuits to L0 for 120 volts results in 2076 watts per leg for a total of 6228 watts. At PF of 0.8, that is 5 kw. Running 3-phase, that would be 3 legs of 208 volts at 17.3 amps gives 3598 watts, the factor of the square...
