Ubusika buphantse bufike, kwaye ukuba umbane wakho uyacima ngenxa yekhephu kunye nomkhenkce, ijenereyitha ingagcina umbane uqukuqela ekhayeni lakho okanye kwishishini.

I-Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), umbutho wezorhwebo wamazwe ngamazwe, ukhumbuza abanini bamakhaya nabamashishini ukuba bakhumbule ukhuseleko xa besebenzisa iijenereyitha kobu busika.

“Kubalulekile ukuba ulandele yonke imiyalelo yomenzi, kwaye ungaze ubeke ijenereyitha kwigaraji yakho okanye ngaphakathi kwindlu okanye kwisakhiwo sakho.Ifanele ukuba ngumgama okhuselekileyo ukusuka kwisakhiwo kwaye ingabi kufutshane nendawo yokungena umoya,” uKris Kiser, umongameli kunye ne-CEO yeli ziko.

Nanga amanye amacebiso:

1. Thatha isitokhwe sejenereyitha yakho.Qinisekisa ukuba isixhobo sisebenza kakuhle phambi kokuba usiqalise kwaye usisebenzise.Yenza oku ngaphambi kokuba kufike isaqhwithi.
2. Hlaziya izalathiso.Landela yonke imiyalelo yomenzi.Phonononga iimanyuwali zabanini (jonga iimanyuwali kwi-intanethi ukuba awukwazi ukuzifumana) ukuze izixhobo zisebenze ngokukhuselekileyo.
3. Fakela isixhobo sokujonga ibhetri esebenza ngekhabhon monoksayidi ekhayeni lakho.Le alarm iya kuvakala ukuba amanqanaba ayingozi e-carbon monoxide angena kwisakhiwo.
4. Yiba nesibaso esifanelekileyo esandleni.Sebenzisa uhlobo lwesibaso olucetyiswa ngumenzi wejenereyitha ukukhusela olu tyalo-mali lubalulekileyo.Akukho mthethweni ukusebenzisa nayiphi na amafutha ane-ethanol engaphezulu kwe-10% kwisixhobo samandla sangaphandle.(Ukufumana ulwazi oluthe kratya malunga nokubasa okufanelekileyo kwezixhobo zamandla zangaphandle ndwendwela. Kungcono ukusebenzisa i-fuel fresh, kodwa ukuba usebenzisa amafutha ahlala kwi-gas ehleli ngaphezu kweentsuku ezingama-30, yongeza i-fuel stabilizer kuyo. Gcina igesi kuphela ngaphakathi isikhongozeli esivunyiweyo kwaye kude nemithombo yobushushu.
5. Qinisekisa ukuba iijenereyitha eziphathwayo zinendawo eninzi yokuphefumla.Iijenereyitha ANGAZE zisetyenziswe kwindawo evaliweyo okanye zibekwe ngaphakathi kwendlu, kwisakhiwo okanye egaraji, kwanokuba iifestile okanye iingcango zivuliwe.Beka ijenereyitha ngaphandle nakude neefestile, iingcango, neendawo zokuphuma umoya ezinokuvumela ikharbhon monoksayidi ukuba ingene ngaphakathi endlwini.
6. Gcina ijenereyitha yomile.Musa ukusebenzisa i-generator kwiimeko ezimanzi.Gquma kwaye ukhuphe ijenereyitha.Iintente ezikhethekileyo zemodeli okanye iikhava zejenereyitha zinokufumaneka kwi-intanethi ukuze zithengwe nakumaziko asekhaya kunye neevenkile zehardware.
7. Yongeza kuphela amafutha kwijenereyitha epholileyo.Ngaphambi kokuba ugcwalise i-refueling, cima ijenereyitha kwaye uyiyeke iphole.
8. Faka ngokukhuselekileyo.Ukuba awukabi nalo iswitshi yokudlulisela, ungasebenzisa iindawo eziphuma kwijenereyitha.Kungcono ukuplaga izixhobo zombane ngqo kwijenereyitha.Ukuba kufuneka usebenzise intambo yokwandisa, kufuneka ibe nzima-umsebenzi kwaye yenzelwe ukusetyenziswa ngaphandle.Kufuneka ilinganiswe (kwi-watts okanye i-amps) ubuncinane ilingana nesixa semithwalo yesixhobo esixhunyiwe.Qinisekisa ukuba intambo ayinakusikeka, kwaye iplagi inazo zontathu iiprong.
9. Fakela iswitshi yokudlulisela.Iswitshi yotshintshiselwano idibanisa ijenereyitha kwiphaneli yesekethe kwaye ikuvumela ukuba unike amandla izixhobo zombane eziqinileyo.Uninzi lokutshintsha kotshintshiselwano lukwanceda ukuphepha ukugcwala ngokubonisa amanqanaba okusebenzisa amanzi.
10. Musa ukusebenzisa ijenereyitha “ukubuyisela umbane” kwisixokelelwano sombane sasekhaya.Ukuzama ukunika amandla iintambo zombane zekhaya lakho “ngokubuyisela umva” – apho uplaga ijenereyitha kwindawo ephuma eludongeni – kuyingozi.Unokwenzakalisa abasebenzi abaluncedo kunye nabamelwane abakhonzwa sisiguquli esifanayo.I-backfeeding bypasses eyakhelwe-ngaphakathi izixhobo zokukhusela isekethe, ngoko unokonakalisa i-elektroniki yakho okanye uqalise umlilo wombane.
