to the one 240V AC Outlet (6). Connect 12V DC appliances, tools, and equipment only to the 12V DC Terminal (7). (See Figure D.)

CAUTION! Never exceed the rated capacity for this Generator, as serious damage to the Generator and/or appliances, tools, and equipment could result from an overload. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching this Generator’s wattage capacity to the appliance, tool, or equipment.
4.Most appliances, tools, and equipment will list on the motor nameplate the start- ing and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage:
Volts x Amps = Watts (example: 120 volts x 3 amps = 360 watts)
5.To determine the approximate wattage requirement for most appliances, tools, and equipment with “inductive” type motors, multiply the wattage that was calculated by 2 times to ensure adequate Generator capacity for motor load starting current.
6.NOTE: The starting and running wattage for “resistant” loads are the same. Ex-
ample: a 100 Watt light bulb requires only 100 Watts to start. Most resistant loads will be listed in wattage.
7.Always power the largest electric motor first. Then, plug in other appliances, tools, and equipment one at a time.
a.Connect “inductive” load appliances, tools, and equipment first. Inductive loads consist of small hand tools and some small appliances. Connect the items that require the most wattage first.
b.Connect any lights next.
c.Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be con- nected to the Generator and the first to be disconnected. Plug voltage sensitive items such as T.V.’s, VCR’s, microwaves, and cordless telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protector (not included). Then, connect the UL Listed surge protector into the Generator.

CAUTION! Failure to connect and operate appliances, tools, and equipment in this sequence can cause damage to the Generator, appliances, tools, and equip- ment and will void the warranty on this Generator.
9.Once the Engine is running, simply connect the 120 volt appliances, tools, and equipment into the 120V AC Outlets (5). Connect a 240 volt appliance, tool, or equipment into the 240V AC Outlet (6). Or connect a 12 volt appliance, tool, or equipment into the 12V DC Outlet (8). (See Figure D.)
10.IMPORTANT: If Engine speed or voltage fluctuates with a load below 250 Watts, move the Engine Choke Lever (21A) to the
(See Figure F.)
