FULL POWER SWmTCH

Your Craftsman generator has a full power switch on the controi panel This switch has two positions: 120 VOLT ONLY, and 120/240 VOLT.

120 Position

When placed in the 120 position, (Shown below) every re- ceptacb on the panel will be converted to a 120 volt recep- tacb. 240-volt power is not available. This position allows full capacity of the generator to be received by using all 120-volt receptacles. While in the 120 position, each re- ceptacb has the ability to reach the maximum 4650 surge wattage for inductive motors that require 4650 watts or be- low to start.

120V 120/240V

1201240 Position

When in the 120/240 position, (Shown Below) only half of the 3750 watts carl be received when using the 120-volt receptacles and the 120/240-volt twistlock receptacle will be converted to allow the full 3750 watts to be received from this one receptacle. Also in this position, the 120-volt receptacles will only reach a maximum of 4650 surge watts.

GENERATOR CAPACWY

Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator carl result in serious damage to your generator and connected electrical devices. You should observe the following to prevent overloading the unit:

Starting and running wattage requirements must be calculated to match your generator wattage capacity.

Resistive load appliances such as light bulbs, TV's and microwaves, have the same starting and running wattage. The wattage used for calculating the capacity can usually be found on each of these appliances.

Some inductive appliances and tools wiii iist on the motor name plate, the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage:

_Volts X Amp = Watts}

Inductive load appliances and tools such as refrigerators, air compressors and washers require approximately 2 to 4 times the listed running wattage for starting the equip- ment. This initial load only lasts for a few seconds on start-up but is very important when figuring your total wattage to be used.

NOTE: Always start your largest electric motor first, and then plug in other items, one at a time.

The guide below is provided to assist you in determining the appliances and tools that can be ran with the wattage capacity of your generator.
