RE: (ET) Tool receptacle

["Pestka, Dennis J" <Dennis Pestka TycoHealthcare com>]

Lee;

 

Do you have to be sitting in the seat for the inverter to work ?

All the power accessory tools were made to plug into the small receptacle because it is live at all times.

 

The large receptacle works off the PTO switch and for that to work the seat safety switch must be engaged.

The Welder has 2 wires that clip on to the safety seat switch to override it.

 

I talked to Bill Gunn and he didn't know of any inverters that were made to plug into the large receptacle.

He thought that maybe someone had modified yours with the larger plug.

Lee:

  Is yours G.E. or Wheelhorse?  I know they looked the same, except for the color. I looked through all my Wheelhorse and G.E. literature and didn't find any pictures of G.E. rotary inverters. Only a G.E. Model AP60 "non-rotary" rated at 1000 watts for 5 hours (8.5 amps at 117 volts). Both the G.E. non-rotary and the Wheelhorse rotary in my literature plug into the smaller receptacle. However, I'm sure that I have seen a G.E. rotary somewhere that plugged into the larger mower receptacle. There may have been different units available from time to time.  My 120 volt chain saw draws 10 amps(label), but a rotary unit would power that on an intermittent basis. The Wheel Horse literature only gives a 120 volt rating. No wattage or amperage rating. Does anyone else have any literature on G. E.'s rotary inverter ratings?

From Lee:
No! However I have used it for years to power electric chain saws which I
think draw between 10 and 12 amps. But I'm not sure even about that.

I looked at the picture. It looks like the same animal. But I swear, mine
plugs into the big socket. I turn it on and off with the 'mower' switch.
