The generator should be operated serviced, and refueled
under the follow Conditions:
a. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do not
run the generator in an enclosed area, even if

doors or windows are open; avoid areas where
vapors may be trapped, such as pits, garages,
cellars, excavations, etc.

injury. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak while using
the generator, shut it off and get to fresh air right away;
you may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
b. Good ventilation for cooling. Air flow and temperatures
PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIEDAD EVANS.COM.MX PROPIE
are important for air cooled units. Temperatures should
not exceed 104ºF ambient (40ºC).
c. Refuel the generator in a well lighted area. Avoid fuel

spills and never refuel while the generator is running.
Allow engine to cool for two minute prior to refueling.
d. Do not refuel near open flames, pilot lights, or sparking
electrical equipment such a power tools, welders and

grinders.
e. The muffler and cleaner must be installed and kept
in good condition at all times as they function as flame

DEFINING TOTAL WATTAGE
1
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage
to your generator it is necessary to know total wattage
of the connected load. To determine which load and or
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).
You can get help for calculation using the Table 1
3
Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only give
volts and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts. 1 kW =
1,000 watts.
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.
5
The generator's rated watts should match or exceed
the total number of watts required for the equipment
you want to run.
The altitude and temperature can modify the generator's
6
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.
Always connect first to the generator the heaviest load,
7
and then add other items one at a time.
OPERATION VOLTAGE
CAUTION
C A U T I O N : Operating voltage and 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 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 generator if only solid
state equipment (such as a television set) is used.
A power line conditioner is recommended for some
solid state applications.
A power line conditioner should be used when running
one or more of the following solid state items:
• Garage door openers.
• Kitchen appliances with digital displays.
• Televisions.
• Stereos.
• Personal computers.
• Quartz clocks.
• Copy machines
• Telephone equipment
Other solid state equipment may require a power line
conditioner, for more information contact customer
service.
