Stopping the Engine
1.Turn off and unplug all electrical loads.Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in or turned on.
2.Let the generator run at no-load for several
minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of the
engine and generator.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "Off" position.
4.Turn the fuel valve to the "Off" position.
Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running
and starting watts necessary for your purposes.
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running
at the same time.
2. Total the running watts of these items.
This is the amount of power you need to keep your
items running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices
identified in step 1. Add this number to the number
calculated in step 2.
2. Surge wattage is the extra burst of power needed
to start some electric driven equipment. Following
the steps listed under "Power Management" will
guarantee that only one device will be starting at a
time.
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and
amperage to watts:
Volts x Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached
devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load
attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to
stabilize.
3.Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach
the item with the largest load first.
4.Allow the engine to stabilize.
5.Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
