If using a generator, it must meet the blower's minimum continuous amperage (2.2 amps for a Little Crow blower and 5.5 amps for a Blackbird blower) and have a start up surge of 12 amps (1,440 watts). If using multiple AirCrow® blowers, you must add all of the wattage together to determine the amount of power required (264 watts for each Little Crow blower and 660 watts for each Blackbird blower). Please consult with a licensed electrician before you use an extension cord or generator.
