Don't Overload Generator
Make sure that your generator can supply enough rated watts and surge watts for all electrical loads connected to the
generator. Surge watts refer to the power a generator must supply to start an electrical device. This power surge for
starting a device usually lasts between 2-3 seconds but this additional output must be considered when selecting the
electrical devices you plan to attach to the generator.
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electrical equipment should be verified prior to plugging them into
this generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and
+/- 3 Hz frequency deviation from the generator name plate ratings.
(Wattages listed are approximations. Check electrical devices for actual wattage)
