•Let engine run at
..... lize the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
•. Move stoP'lever'to*OFF" position.
DON'T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
This':generator is equipped with one
eAdd up the total watlzge of all electrical devices to be connected at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the generator's wattage capacity.
•The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a data plate or decal affixed to the device.
=If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply 120 volts times ampere rating to deter _e v_tts (volts x amps =watts).
*Some electric motors, such as induction types, re_ ,,re about two and a half times more watts of power for starting than for running. This surgeofpowerlasts only a fewseconds when starting such motors. Make sure you allow for this high starting wattage when selecting electrical devices to connect to your generator, First, figure the watts needed to startthe largestmotor. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected • loads.
=The GUIDE below is provided to assist you in deter-
mining how rnany items your generator can operate at one time.
