OPERATION

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel recep- tacles. Never start or stop engine with electrical de- vices plugged in and lumed on.

Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabi-

..... 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 20-amp circuit breaker. The duplex receptacle is protected against elec- _cat ovedoad with the 20-amp breaker. Overloading a generator in excessof its rated wattage capacity can result in damage to the generator and to connected electrical devices. Observe the following, lo prevent overloading the unit:

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.
