MAINTENANCE

Before using the Generator, check that the products you want to plug into the unit are below the rated and maximum wattage ratings of the Generator. Use the Wattage Calculation Table below, and the watts listed on your products, to help calculate multiple wattage totals.

To use the table:

1.Add up the Running Watts for all items you would like to use at any given time

2.Make sure that this total is under the

5,500 rated wattage of the generator.

3.Find the single highest starting watts for the selected items and add to the total.

4.Make sure that this total is under the 6,500 maximum rated wattage of the generator.

5.Plug in and turn on products from largest wattage to smallest.

A generator that is rated more than the minimum required peak watts will last much longer than a generator that only supplies the exact watts needed.

To Calculate Wattage

Volts and amps can be multiplied together to get watts (volts x

amps = watts).

To Calculate Additional Start-Up Watts

(If They Are Not Listed)

For equipment with a motor: Use the rated watts amount as an estimate of additional Start-up Watts.

For most lights or heaters:

there are no additional start-up watts.

Wattage Estimate Charts

Note: Wattages listed below are estimates for that type of equipment only. Check nameplate wattages on all loads before connecting to Generator.
