Ubusika sebusondele, futhi uma ugesi wakho ucima ngenxa yeqhwa neqhwa, ijeneretha ingagcina amandla egeleza ekhaya noma ebhizinisini lakho.

I-Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), inhlangano yabahwebi bamazwe ngamazwe, ikhumbuza abanikazi bamakhaya nabamabhizinisi ukuthi bakhumbule ukuphepha lapho besebenzisa amajeneretha kulobu busika.

“Kubalulekile ukulandela yonke imiyalelo yomkhiqizi, futhi ungalokothi ubeke ijeneretha egaraji lakho noma ngaphakathi kwendlu noma esakhiweni sakho.Kufanele kube yibanga eliphephile ukusuka esakhiweni hhayi eduze nendawo yomoya,” uKris Kiser, umongameli kanye ne-CEO yalesi sikhungo.

Nawa amanye amathiphu:

1. Thatha isitokwe sejeneretha yakho.Qinisekisa ukuthi izinto zokusebenza zisebenza kahle ngaphambi kokuthi uziqale futhi uzisebenzise.Yenza lokhu ngaphambi kokuba kufike isiphepho.
2. Buyekeza iziqondiso.Landela yonke imiyalelo yomkhiqizi.Buyekeza amamanuwali omnikazi (bheka amamanyuwali ku-inthanethi uma ungakwazi ukuwathola) ukuze okokusebenza kusebenze ngokuphepha.
3. Faka umtshina we-carbon monoxide osebenza ngebhethri ekhaya lakho.Le alamu izokhala uma amazinga ayingozi e-carbon monoxide engena esakhiweni.
4. Yiba nophethiloli ofanele esandleni.Sebenzisa uhlobo lukaphethiloli olunconywe umenzi wejeneretha ukuze uvikele lolu tshalomali olubalulekile.Akukho emthethweni ukusebenzisa noma imuphi uphethiloli one-ethanol engaphezu kuka-10% ezintweni zikagesi zangaphandle.(Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nokuphethwa okufanele kwezinto zamandla zangaphandle vakashela . Kungcono ukusebenzisa uphethiloli omusha, kodwa uma usebenzisa uphethiloli osekuphele izinsuku ezingaphezu kwezingu-30 uhlezi ebhodleleni legesi, engeza isibaseli kuwo. Gcina igesi kuphela isitsha esigunyaziwe futhi kude nemithombo yokushisa.
5. Qinisekisa ukuthi amajeneretha aphathekayo anomoya omningi.Amajeneretha AKUMELE asetshenziswe endaweni evalekile noma abekwe ngaphakathi kwendlu, isakhiwo, noma igaraji, ngisho noma amafasitela noma iminyango ivuliwe.Beka ijeneretha ngaphandle futhi kude namafasitela, iminyango, nezintuba ezingavumela i-carbon monoxide ukuthi ikhukhuthele endlini.
6. Gcina ijeneretha yomile.Ungasebenzisi i-generator ezimeni ezimanzi.Vala futhi ukhiphe ijeneretha.Amatende akhethekile noma amakhava ejeneretha angatholakala ku-inthanethi ukuze athengwe nasezikhungweni zasekhaya kanye nezitolo zehardware.
7. Faka uphethiloli ejeneretha epholile kuphela.Ngaphambi kokufaka uphethiloli, vala ijeneretha bese uyiyeka iphole.
8. Xhuma ngokuphepha.Uma ungakabi nalo iswishi yokudlulisa, ungasebenzisa izitolo ezikujeneretha.Kungcono ukuxhuma izinto zikagesi ngqo kujeneretha.Uma kufanele usebenzise intambo yokunweba, kufanele ibe nzima futhi yakhelwe ukusetshenziswa ngaphandle.Kufanele ilinganiselwe (ngama-watts noma ama-amps) okungenani ilingane nesamba semithwalo yempahla exhunyiwe.Qiniseka ukuthi intambo ayinakusikeka, futhi ipulaki inawo womathathu ama-prong.
9. Faka iswishi yokudlulisa.Iswishi yokudlulisa ixhuma ijeneretha kuphaneli yesekethe futhi ikuvumela ukuthi unike amandla izinto zikagesi ezinezintambo eziqinile.Amaswishi amaningi okudlulisa nawo asiza ukugwema ukugcwala ngokweqile ngokubonisa amazinga okusebenzisa amanzi.
10. Ungayisebenzisi ijeneretha ukuze “ubuyisele emuva” amandla ohlelweni lwakho lukagesi lwasekhaya.Ukuzama ukunika amandla izintambo zikagesi zekhaya lakho “ngokubuyisela emuva” – lapho uxhuma khona ijeneretha endaweni ephuma odongeni – kuyingozi.Ungalimaza izisebenzi kanye nomakhelwane abahlinzekwa yi-transformer efanayo.Ama-backfeeding bypasses akhelwe ngaphakathi okuvikela isekethe, ngakho-ke ungalimaza ugesi wakho noma uqale umlilo kagesi.
