DEFINING TOTAL WATTAGE
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.C
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage
1
to your generator it is necessary to know total wattage
of the connected load. To determine which load and or
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIED
appliances your generator will run follow these steps.
2
Check wattage requirements by referring to the loads
nameplate or by calculating it (multiply amps x volts = watts).
3
You can get help for calculation using the Table 1
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.C
Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only give
volts and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts. 1 kW =
1,000 watts.
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIED
4
Motorized appliances or tools require more than their
rated wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2 ½ to 4 times the listed wattage for starting
equipment powered by electric motors.
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.C
5
The generator's rated watts should match or exceed
the total number of watts required for the equipment
you want to run.
6
The altitude and temperature can modify the generator's
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIED
ratings. Use the Table 2 to calculate the generator's
rating, multiply the factor x rated output in the generator's
specs when the condition is not at 21ºC at the sea level.
7
Always connect first to the generator the heaviest load,

and then add other items one at a time.
OPERATION VOLTAGE
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIED
C A U T I O N : Operating voltage and
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.C
frequency requirements of all electronic
equipment should be checked prior plugging
them into this generator. Damage may result
if the equipment is not designed to operate
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIED
within +/- 10% of voltage and +/- 3 Hz of
the rated values marked in the generator´s
nameplate. To avoid damage, always have an
additional no solid state load plugged into the
EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.C
generator if only solid state equipment (such
as a television set) is used. A power line
conditioner is recommended for some solid
state applications.

Before temporary connection of the generator to the

device.

If your generator is to be used as a stand – by power
1 500 - 2 500
source in case of utility power failure, it should be
installed by a registered electrician and in compliance
with all applicable local electrical codes.
4
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch
be installed by licensed qualified electrician so that the
building's electrical circuits may be safely switched
between utility power and the generator output; thereby
preventing back feed into the power utility's electrical
system.
5
Always follow local codes and regulations that apply to
the installation of any item that concerns this product.

2. NFPA 37 – Standard for Installation and Use of
Stationary Combustible Engines.

an unqualified person attempt to wire into utility
circuit.
Give the generator at least two feet of space from
any nearby wall to dissipate heat.
