*Whenusing3hoistsormoreonaplatform,consultSpiderproductsupportat+1(206)394-5319forpropergensetratings.

Theserecommendedgensetratingsaretheminimumrecommendedbasedonintermittentplatformmovement(lessthan10

minutesofcontinuousupwardtravel)andstandardambientconditions.

Usingalargercapacitygeneratorisalwaysacceptable,andisadvisedifanyofthefollowingarepresent:

 • Ambienttemperatureover100°F

 • Relativehumidityover50%

 • Siteelevationabovethan5000feet

 • Cordlengthover250feet,wheretransformerisnotused.

 • Runningthehoistscontinuouslyformorethantenminutes

IMPORTANT:Verifythevoltageoperatingrangeofthehoistbeforepluggingitintothegenerator.Voltagethatistoohighortoo

lowwilldamageahoist,causingworkdelaysandexpensiverepairs.Consultthehoistoperator’smanualbeforeyoustart.Use

abuckorboosttransformertoadjustoutputvoltageofthegeneratortomeetthehoist’sspeciedvoltage.Verifythatthetrans-

formeriswiredforthedesiredbuckorboostfunction.

Generator Size Recommendations

& Operations Overview

Inverters  AnelectronicdevicethatconvertsDCelectricalpowerintoACelectricalpower.

   InvertergeneratorsuseaDCgeneratorconnectedtoaninvertercreatingACpower.

   Typicallyquieter,weighless,uselessfuel.

TROUBLESHOOTING POOR HOIST PERFORMANCE AND DAMAGE DUE TO:

Low Engine Speed/ Outputfrequencymeasuredwithamulti-meteratthepoweroutletorendofthepowercordmust

Output Frequency measurebetween58and62Hz.Ifyougetadifferentreading,consulttheoperator’smanualor

   contactthegenset’sauthorizedserviceprovider

   Checktoseeifthegensetissetin“energysaver”mode.Thismodeidlestheengineuntilaloadis

   appliedtoit.Thehighstartuploadsofahoistmotorcandamagethegensetwheninthismode,

   andalsothehoistmotor.Keepthegensetinfullrunmode.

Incorrect Voltage Ifoutputvoltageatthegensetgaugepanelormeasuredwithamulti-meteratthegensetoutletis

   lessthantheratedhoistvoltagewithnoload,donotusethegensettopowerthehoist.Checkthe

   Ifthevoltageattheoppositeendofthecordislessthantheratedhoistvoltageornovoltageis

   measured,checkforincorrectsocket/plugalignmentinthecord,plugandsocket.

Low Fuel Level Lowfuelsupplyaffectsthegen-setspeed,causingvoltageandpowersurgesthatcandamagethehoist.

   Consultthegensetoperator’smanualsforfuelconsumptionratesandmakesureenoughfuelis

   availablefortheoperatingshift.

   Consultthegensetoperator’smanualsafetyconsiderationsduringrefuelingandonre-startingafter

refueling

Intake, Exhaust and Restrictingthegensetairintake,exhaustorcoolingsystemswillresultinlowpoweroutput,overheating
