Stopping Generator
• Before using the generator to power
Plan carefully:
appliances, take time to add power ratings (watt-
age) of each appliance and verify that total wattage
does not exceed rated output of generator. Power
rating information can usually be found on an appli-
ance's product label, stamped inside, or on the
back of the appliance. See Table 1 for a listing of
average appliance wattage requirements.
• NEVER overload: Circuit breakers will stop the flow
of electricity from the generator to the appliance if the
generator is overloaded. Check all circuit breakers for
"tripped' position.
If the circuit breaker is tripped, reduce
the load on the duplex (NEMA 5-20R) receptacles above
the breaker, wait several minutes for the breaker to cool,
.
and reset the breaker
•
Pay attention to appliance operation: If appliance
begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or
stops suddenly, turn it OFF immediately. Disconnect
appliance and determine whether problem is appli-
ance, or if load capacity of generator has been
exceeded.
•
Use suitable extension cords: If using an extension
cord to connect appliance to generator, use only UL-
listed, three-prong extension cords that are intended
for outdoor use. Be sure extension cord is proper size
(wire gauge) to handle electric load that will be
plugged into it.
CAUTION
NEVER run power cords under carpet, rugs, or other materi-
als where heat might build up or cord damage may go unno-
ticed.
