will it run off of a generator?

Yes it only has a #14 power cord on it and we run ours off a generator all the time . I would recommend a 3000 watt generator or larger.It chips concrete faster than the 90 lbs air hammer that we have.With less strain on the operator.

I have run this off of a large diesel generator (tow behind rental). Worked just fine. Might draw too many amps for a small generator.

It depends on how much your generator is rated. If it can supply 1800w continuously, then yes. The tool is rated 1750w. Any generator output rated 2000w or more will give a good safe margin to run.

Yes as long as the generator is sized for the watts the jackhammer consumes. 1500 watts if I remember correct.

Depends on what you need it for...if for basic emergency light, yes, but will not serve as a generator for power, except for another battery system. If you have anything that could be powered by plug, then it will power that for a while (radio for emergency, other electrical equipment, etc.). This is a great unit. I use mine often on the ranch to pump tractor tires, jump start old vehicles, etc.

It will run on as little as 14watts at 12v. Anything less and it flips off and on.

I am not really sure how this will work but leaning towards on the safe side, I would say NO. This heater is drawing a lot of power and I think the generator as the source will not work for this application.If I were you, I will contact the generator manufacturer and explain how you plan of using the unit. I hope this helps.

I haven't read anything saying it will and have not tried but I'm sure you could make it work somehow. Great little generator. No issues at all.

It can run for a long time. If you are using it as a backup generator and your power is out for days - no problem. It could also be used for power if you are totally off the grid. Think cabin in the woods. We have a large propane tank for heating the house. Our generator is hooked up to it for its' fuel supply. Makes running the generator when power is out easy.

It will run as long as there is power to it. By run I mean the contacts are "made" opening the valve.

You do not want to run it with a generator because it is worthless! It is the most worthless item I have ever purchased. You are bettert 0ff operating a fan. It does not perform well.

Yah I don't see why it wouldn't work. As long as the generator is providing enough energy for everything attached

The size of the generator is not figured on the square feet of the structure, but rather on the amperage load of the equipment at the structure. ie... heat pump, ref., freezer, ceiling fans,....ect. If you have more questions my husband can answer them for you. Also our house is over 3200 square feet. It will run ours.

Probably not. The starting surge power draw of the well pump will exceed the capability of this generator.

My apologies, I took the generator to a vacation home and have no means of finding out this information at this time. It's a nice generator though!

Bonnie, I can tell you that I ran this unit during a power outage that lasted over 12 hours and my neighbors did not even know it was running.It was not until they saw me plugging more things into it, that they asked me if I could run some of thier household appliances.Yes, the battery will charge on it's own when it's running.If you are not going to run this generator for long periods of time I would suggest that you purchase a "trickle Charger" for about $12;00 @ any Harbor Fright store or a Home depot etc...I hope this helps-I love my generator and i'm sure you will love yours should you decide to buy one.Good luck!

If you use the generator only in warm temps, I would say yes. If used below 50 deg frequently I would not recommend it.

There is ground wire attachment point on the front to attach a wire to run to a ground point. It will work without the ground but most generator manufacturers now recommend using an external ground for additional safety.

Yes it will. It has 15 amp outlets and a 30 amp outlet.During hurricane Sandy it ran my oil boiler so I could heat my house and take a hot shower . If I could do it all over again I would get a 7500 or 8000 watt generator because it could not run the boiler and lights at the same time. It's great for an emergency and if u attach 15amps to it it will work but I think I TN goes to full throttle at that amperage.

Don't think so.your generator at that wattage should have a 30 amp twist on it I would think
