Summer is afoot and there are many fun activities to engage in that will required a portable generator to help ensure the good times don’t end. Whether your outdoor fun is in the backyard, local park or a remote wilderness location, a portable generator will add a whole new level of opportunities.
Camping With A Portable Generator
Getting away from the hustle and bustle of the world is time well spent. Unfortunately, most camping areas don’t provide on-demand power. How are you going to run the grill or AC in your camper? A portable generator! Our portable generators provide plenty of power for a multitude of appliances that you and your family cannot do without.
Outdoor Gatherings
Summer is a wonderful time for grill outs and reunions. It’s wise to set up shop under shelters or bring your own tent. Portable generators can supply power at these gatherings providing power for lights, crock pots, coffee makers, and karaoke machines. A medium sized portable generator should cover all the energy requirements for your next outdoor gathering.
Tailgate Parties
Few things in life foster the joy that comes from banning together for a game on the weekend with our friends and family. What to know a great way to make the experience more memorable? Using your portable generator to power music systems, videos, and even television streams if you weren’t able to land tickets to the game. Running these fun entertainment products from your car’s battery is not a wise choice as the energy load would deplete your battery’s life. Instead use a portable generator for your tailgate parties.
Festivals and Events
Activities such as church festivals, community events, craft fairs, and farmers markets commonly require portable generator assistance to keep the power running. Since these types of events are large in nature, you want to match the property capacity of the portable generator to the event’s power demand. We recommend a portable generator between 8500 to 17,500 watts of power for such events but consult with your local electrician to get an exact amount.
Safe Use Guidelines
Portable generators leverage an internal combustion engine which produces the electrical output. The burned fuel used for the portable generator operation emits carbon monoxide. For these reasons, never operate a portable generator inside a tent, shed, basement, garage, or any other enclosed space. Carbon monoxide levels can reach critical volumes within a matter of minutes. Always run portable generators outdoors away from enclosed spaces. Keep the portable generator away from windows, doors, and vents.
Portable generators do emit a sound when operational so be sure to place the portable generator in a location where noise won’t affect your neighbors. When you need to refuel the generator, turn off the generator and let it cool completely. Top the fuel and oil off once the portable generator has cooled.
