DON'T OVERLOAD THE
GENERATOR
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can result in damage to generator and to connected electrical devices. Observe the following, to prevent overloading the unit:
•Add up the total wattage 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 volts times ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
•Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about three times more watts of power for starting than for running. This surge of power lasts for only a few seconds when starting such motors. Be sure you allow for this high starting wattage when selecting electrical devices to connect to your generator, First figure the watts needed to start the largest motor. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads.
•The Wattage Guide shown in Figure 13 is provided to help you to determine how many items the generator can operate at one time.
