ENGINE BREAK-IN
After initial
GENERATOR SHUT OFF
1.Remove all electrical load devices from the generator.
2.Allow the engine to run for
3.Set the switch to the OFF position. This will stall the engine.
4.Verify that the generator has completely stopped.
5.Allow the unit to cool before installing any covers.
LOAD DEVICES
1.The 120 volt receptacles are rated for 15 amps.
2.Total combined load through any combination of receptacles must not exceed the rated load limits of the generator.
NOTE: Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts and amps. The resulting number is wattage.
Never exceed the posted maximum wattage for the generator or any individual receptacle. Refer to owner's
manuals and product tags to determine the wattage of electrical load devices.
Long power cords and extension cords draw additional power. Keep cords at minimum possible length.
Installation for
Stand-by Use
Precautions must be taken to prevent electrical back feeding into utility systems. This requires isolation of the electrical system. To isolate the electrical system, perform the following procedures:
1. | Turn off the main electrical system |
| switch prior to connecting the |
| generator. |
2. | In accordance with national and local |
| standards, a double throw transfer |
