Power Management - sunjoe SJG4100LP Manual Del Operador

NOTE: The battery may require charging before the
generator can be electric started. In this case, start the
engine by recoil start described below.
8. Allow the engine to run for 15 - 30 seconds, then move
the choke lever all the way RIGHT to the RUN position
(Fig. 25).

The generator can also be started by pulling the recoil grip, as
described below.
1. Follow the step 1 to step 6 in Electric start section.
2. Grab the recoil grip and pull it out. Keep pulling until the
engine runs (Fig. 26).
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
3. Allow the engine to run for 15 - 30 seconds, then move
the choke lever all the way RIGHT to the RUN position
(Fig. 25).
Power Management
The generator can provide 4100 surge wattage and 3300
running wattage. Before plugging in any load, make sure the
generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge
(starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time.
Follow these steps.
1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This is
the amount of power the generator must produce to keep
the items running.

3. Estimate the surge (starting) watts you will need. Surge
wattage is the short burst of power needed to start
electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular
saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the
same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding
only the item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to
the total rated watts from step 2.

Tool/Application
RV Air Conditioner
TV
RV Refrigerator
Radio
Total running watt 1690 + Highest starting watt 1600
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices, it
is important to take care when adding electrical loads to the
generator. There should be nothing connected to the generator
outlets before starting its engine. The correct and safe way
to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as
follows:
1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine
as described above. Let the engine warm up by running
with no load for 2 - 3 minutes.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest
load you have.
3. Allow the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, allow the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take
special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity as
previously described.

WARNING!
Do not overload the generator's capacity.
Exceeding the generator's wattage/amperage capacity may
damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to
it.

WARNING!
While operating and storing, keep at least
3 feet of clearance on all sides of this product, including
overhead.
