HAD A BUDDY THAT HAD RENTED A LG ONE AND WASNT SURE HE HAD IT HOOKED UP RIGHT- THIS MORNING HE USED A TESTER AND RE WIRED THE OUTPUT.

THE CAR IS MY SONS- A GIRL RAN IN TO HIM IN SCHOOL PARKING-LOT(ICY)
MY BUDDY HAD A GIG THAT HE USES & I BORROWED- IT IS ABOUT 12 SQUARE
EACH SIDE HAS A BEND THAT ALLOWS IT TO HOOK BEHIND LIP ON A WHEEL WELL
ONE SIDE IS STRAIGHT- AND THE OTHER IS CURVED TO FOLLOW CONTOUR OF WHEEL WELL
ITS HEAVY ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN SLIDE IT IN AND HOOK A COME-ALONG ON THE OTHER SIDE AND PULL A 12 IN AREA AT ONE TIME - WORKS GOOD.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST PICT THE LIP IS TIGHT AGAINST THE TIRE
ON THE SECOND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS CLEARANCE.
WHATS THE LATEST ON GOING OVERSEAS ?

on the genny, L1, L2, and L3 are your power lines (480/240 between each). Prolly has a neutral line. 277 from a 480 line to neutral, dont remember 240 line to neutral off the top of my head.

Its nice to get your sons car straightened out enough to drive it. My daughter keeps pestering me to let her take my 4x4 trooper to school.

a part arrived there today that should keep me out of Kaz, but my passport is at the Kazaky embassy getting an annual visa. We will see in a couple days...

If the genny is a rental, usually they will come out and help you setup so you dont fry their equipment.

Also, depending on what he is using it for will depend on how its wired. Usually, our equipment is 3 phase and just wired into L1, L2, and L3 and grounded.

If he rented a 3 phase genny, then more than likely he has three phase equipment. Motors are the only thing that can be picky as they will run backwards if wired wrong (but you dont know right until you spin the motor). Welders usually aren't picky. Lights usually aren't picky (just get the right voltage).

TOP, don't you remember what the judge said the last time you exposed yourself??? (after he stopped laughing)

Y'all certainly are a talkative lot tonight. I need to report a crime, I got attacked by a vampire leaving church tonight and she stole my blood. We had the bloodmobile waiting on us tonight and they got me.

Now if your gonna start giving them away, I will swing by and pick one up but only if you throw in a couple cans of 5.56.
