Using Electric Power
• DO NOT move the generator while it is running.
Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let engine run stable and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
2. Plug in and turn on the electrical loads.
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads. Connect electrical loads in OFF position then
turn ON for operation.
•
Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before
stopping generator.
DO NOT exceed the generator's wattage/amperage capacity.
Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity could
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
Wattage Information
Some appliances need a "surge" of energy when starting. This
means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the
appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use.
Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label
indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps) and electrical
power needed to run the appliance or tool.
Check with your nearest dealer or service provider with questions
regarding power surge of certain appliances or power tools.
•
Electrical loads such as incandescent lamps and hot plates
require the same wattage to start as is needed to maintain use.
•
Loads such as fluorescent lamps require 1.2 to 2 times the
indicated wattage during start-up.
•
Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated
wattage during start-up.
•
Electrical motors require a large starting current. Power
requirements depend on the type of motor and its use. Once
enough "surge" is attained to start the motor, the appliance will
require only 30% to 50% of the wattage to continue running.
OPERATION
WARNING
Risk of electrocution. Make sure that the appliance
