OPERATION
LOAD APPLICATION
The continuous duty rating should not be exceeded for long periods of time. Always be sure that the voltage, amperage and frequency requirements of the equipment to be used can be satisfied by the generator. To avoid damage, the generator should not be operated at the intermittent rating for more than 10 minutes out of every hour.
CABLE SIZE
Equipment damage can result from low voltage. To prevent excessive voltage drop between the generator and the equip- ment, the cable or extension cord should be adequate for the length used.
CONTROL PANEL
The generator is equipped with one 120 volt 15 amp, parallel slot,
NEVER EXCEED THE RATING OF A RECEPTACLE.
