CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS

Connect loads in the following manner to prevent damage to equipment:

2.Connect inductive load equipment first, inductive loads consist of refrigerators, freezers, water pumps, air conditioners, or small hand tools. Connect the items that require the most wattage first. See Wattage Calcu- lation Section in this manual.

3.Connect the lights next.

4.Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last equipment connected to the generator. Plug voltage sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's, micro- waves, ovens, computers, and cordless telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protector, then connect the UL listed voltage surge protector to the generator.

Failure to connect and operate equipment in this sequence can cause damage to equipment and will void the warranty
