DON'T OVERLOAD

Capacity

You must mak_ sure your generator r._n supply enough

ra_ed (running) and surge (starring) watts for the items you will power at the same time, Follow these simple steps:

I.Select the items you will power at the same _ime,

2.To_I the rated (running) watts of these items,This is "the amount of power your generator must produce to keep your i_ems running, See Figure 13.

3.Estimate how many surge (s_rting) wa_s you will

need, Surge wattage is the shor';burst of power needed to star_ electric motor-driven tools or

appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors s_rt at die same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with die highest additional surge watts to die _or_l rated w_tts from s_ep 2,

Power Management

To prolong the life of your generator and at_ched devices, it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to your generator, There should be nothing connected to the generator outlets before starting it'sengine,The correct

and safe w_/to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as follows:

I.With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine zs described in this manual,

2.Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably die largest load you have,

,Permit the generator output to s_bilize (engine runs smoothly and at_ched device operates properly,

4.Plug in and turn on the next load,

S.Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

6.Repe_t steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

NEVER add more loads than die generator c_paciw.Tak_

special care to consider surge loads in generator capaci_/, as described above,
