Terms of Use and Disclaimer

By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

Information only, not professional advice

Everything on this site is general information about engine-powered equipment, published for educational purposes. It is not professional engineering, electrical, mechanical, legal, financial or safety advice, and it does not replace the owner’s manual for your equipment, the instructions of its manufacturer, or the services of a licensed professional. Always follow the manual and local codes, and use a qualified professional for electrical work, fuel-system work and anything that affects safety.

Safety

Generators, engines, fuel, pressurized air and water, and power tools can cause serious injury or death. You are responsible for your own safety and for the safety of others when you use equipment. Our equipment safety notice summarizes the main hazards, but it is not exhaustive.

Accuracy

We take care to be accurate and we correct mistakes when we find them, as described in our editorial standards. Even so, equipment, standards and manufacturers’ recommendations change, and we cannot guarantee that every detail is complete, current or applicable to your situation. Figures described as typical or approximate are planning estimates, not measurements of your equipment. Verify anything important against the manufacturer’s documentation.

Interactive tools

Our calculators and planners produce estimates from typical values and the information you enter. They are intended to give you a starting point for further research and discussion with a professional. They are not a substitute for a load calculation, engineering assessment or manufacturer’s sizing guidance.

Affiliate links and third-party sites

This site contains affiliate links, as explained in our affiliate disclosure. Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products, prices or privacy practices. Any purchase you make from a third party is governed by that party’s terms.

Intellectual property

The text and original graphics on this site are owned by the publisher unless otherwise stated. You may read, print and share links to our articles for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish or redistribute our content without written permission. Photographs from third-party sources are used under their respective licenses and are credited where required. Product names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify products.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the publisher of this website will not be liable for any loss, damage, injury or expense arising from the use of, or reliance on, information on this site or on sites we link to, including loss or damage to equipment. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Comments and submissions

If comments or other submissions are enabled, you are responsible for what you post. We may edit or remove submissions that are unlawful, abusive, misleading or off-topic. By submitting content you grant us a non-exclusive right to display it on the site.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time by posting a new version here. Your continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
