Operation Guidelines

CAUTION

Exceeding the generator's wattage/amperage capacity may damage the generator and electrical devices connected to it.

Do not connect any electrical loads before starting the engine and allowing it to warm up. Make sure electrical devices are "off" when you do connect them.

Starting the Engine

1.Place the generator on a level surface.

2.Turn the fuel valve to the "on" position.

4. Pull slowly on the starter cord until it engages, then pull sharply.

STARTER GRIP

CAUTION

Do not allow the starter cord to snap back. Return it slowly by hand.

5.Move the choke lever back to the "open" position after the engine warms up.

High-Altitude Operation

The standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich at high altitude (5,000 feet or 1,500 m and above), decreasing performance and increasing fuel consumption.

Electrical Loads

Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator, make sure the appliance or cord is in good working order. Do not overload the generator! The GT950's specifications are:

Rated Voltage (V)

120

 

 

Rated Frequency (Hz)

60

 

 

Rated Current (A)

7.3

 

 

Rated Output (VA)

800

 

 

To make sure that your generator can supply enough rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time, follow these steps:

1.Select the items you will power at the same time.

2.Add up the rated (running) watts of these items. The generator must produce this total amount of power to keep your items running.

3.Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need; in other words, the short burst of power needed to start electric tools or appliances. Because not all motors start at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item with the highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts.

Example of determining the total output required:

Tool/Appliance

Rated (Running) Watts

Surge (Starting) Watts

Refrigerator

800

1,600

Television

500

n/a

Window AC

1,200

1,800

Total Rated (Running) Watts = 2,500

Highest Surge Watts = 1,800

Total Generator Output Required = 4,300
