SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Connecting Loads to the Generator
Load and Circuit Breaker:
1. The total combined load through the outlet
on the Generator must not exceed the
rated maximum power of the unit.
2. Reduce the load if the AC Circuit Breaker turns off.
Once the load is reduced, press the Circuit Breaker
Button to reset the Generator and continue operation.
Calculate Power Draw:
Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts
and amps. The resulting number is wattage.
• Never exceed the rated maximum wattage for
the Generator or any outlet amperage rating.
• Refer to appliance/tool owner’s manuals to
determine the wattage of electrical load devices.
• Long power cords and extension cords draw
additional power. Keep cord length at a minimum.
Wattage Estimates
Wattages listed below are estimates for that
type of equipment only. Check nameplate wattages
on all loads before connecting to Generator.

4. Plug the power cord of the 120 volt appliance/
tool into the 120 volt AC Outlet on the Generator.
Note: Do not allow the generator to completely run out of fuel with devices attached.
A generator’s output may sharply spike as it runs out of fuel, causing damage to attached devices.
Stopping the Engine
1. To stop the engine in an emergency,
turn the Engine Switch off.
2. Under normal conditions, use the following procedure:
a. Remove all electrical load devices
from the Generator.
b. Turn the Engine Switch off.
c. Close the Fuel Valve.
