2) AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power to the generator:
- Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential
for electrical shock.
- If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly. Turn it off
immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if
the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
- Make sure that the electrical, rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that ofthe generator.
Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maxi-
mum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
Substantial overloading will switch off the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time
NOTICE
limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may
not switch the- circuit breaker OFF. but will shorten the service life of the
generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
For continuous- operation, do not exceed the rated power
In either case. the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must be considered.
Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information near the model number or
serial number.
4) AC Operation
①. Start the engine
②. Switch the AC circuit breaker ON
③. Plug in the appliance
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated wattage for startup.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. if an overloaded circuit causes the
AC circuit breaker to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait a few minutes and
then reset the circuit breaker.
