To Connect Electrical Loads:
1. Start the Engine, and allow the Engine and Generator to run and warm up for
five minutes after starting with no electrical load.
2. WARNING! Connect 120V AC appliances, tools, and equipment only to the
two 120V AC Outlets. Connect 12V DC appliances, tools, and equipment only to
the 12V DC Outlet. (See Figure E.)
3. CAUTION! Never exceed the rated capacity for this Generator, as serious
damage to the Generator and/or appliances, tools, and equipment could result
from an overload. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be
calculated when matching this Generator’s wattage capacity to the appliance,
tool, or equipment.
4. Most appliances, tools, and equipment will list on the motor nameplate the
starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following
formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage:
Volts x AMP = Watts (example: 120 volts x 3 AMPs = 360 Watts)
5. To determine the approximate wattage requirement for most appliances, tools,
and equipment with “inductive” type motors, multiply the wattage that was
calculated by 2 times to assure adequate Generator capacity.
6. NOTE: The starting and running wattage for “resistant” loads are the same.
Example: a 100 Watt light bulb requires only 100 Watts to start. Most resistant
loads will be listed in wattage.
7. Always power the largest electric motor first. Then, plug in other appliances,
tools, and equipment one at a time.
A. Connect “inductive” load appliances, tools, and equipment first. Inductive
loads consist of small hand tools and some small appliances. Connect the items
that require the most wattage first.
B. Connect any lights next.
C. Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be
connected to the Generator. Plug voltage sensitive items such as T.V.’s, VCR’s,
microwaves, and cordless telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protector
(not included). Then, connect the UL Listed surge protector into the Generator.
8. CAUTION! Failure to connect and operate appliances, tools, and equipment
in this sequence can cause damage to the Generator, appliances, tools, and
equipment and will void the warranty on this Generator.
