Your owner’s manual of course will include the recommended safety rules. However, you may want to know certain basic less apparent things in advance because they may affect your choice.

  • Just like all engine-containing devices, tiger generator sets should always be used OUTDOORS. You should locate them at least 15 feet away from the house to avoid carbon monoxide and fumes building up.
  • You should never connect your generator directly to a wall outlet or your house unless it is isolated from the service lines.
  • Most portable generators need to be protected from rain and snow. Ensure your generator is placed under a shade or in a generator house where it can be protected from rain or theft.

Things You May Not Like About Tiger Generators

  • Their rate of disintegration is pretty fast too. Depending on usage (which is very rapid as there is seldom a public power supply), the portable generator needs servicing or routine checks every two weeks. But it is not always that simple. Several internal parts may have become dysfunctional owing to wear and tear.
  • If not properly serviced and maintained, the Tiger generator may begin to make so much noise and emit toxic smoke. Except your Tiger generator is one with a key start, continuous use may lead to the slackness of the string pulled to start the generator.
  • Just like other portable petrol generators, the Tiger generator brand cannot be used as a permanent backup for power failure for long hours. As we stated earlier, we recommend that you do not operate your Tiger generators continuously for more than 6 hours.
  • There is a restriction on the maximum number of loads that can be placed on tiger generators depending on their power rating. To avoid overloading the generator, it is necessary to disconnect any gadget that will overload it or that is not being used. Appliances like electric boilers, electric irons, heaters, air conditioners and other high-energy-consuming gadgets should be switched off when using low-power Tiger generators. The Tiger TG950, which is a 650VA generator can comfortably power your TV, DVD/VCD player, one or two fans and a few lighting points.
