2KW and Smaller Gasoline Engine Driven (GED) Generators

[LuckeyD]

The attached Technical Manuals cover the what is considered small GED generators. They were designed for specific purposes and not intended to be a 24/7 operated generator, but rather for small teams of Soldiers performing a mission and requiring electrical power to run something specific, finish the team mission and move on to do it again. Some had special fuel cells with attached oil cans to mix fuels on site. One is a hand cranked generator. This is a combined effort of several members to impart the information to enthusiastic collectors so they may keep their equipment operational. Not all manuals for an item are available at this time.

The G43 & G77 are hand cranked generators. It was to keep a radio running for a short period of time.
