You must make sure your generator cansupply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you
will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
I.
Select the itemsyou wilt power at the same time.
2.
Total the rated (running) watts of these items.Thisis
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keep your items running. See Figure 9.
3.
Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you wilt
need. Surge wattage isthe short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or
appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator.
Becausenot 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.

Management
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when adding electrical loadsto
your generator.There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting its engine.The correct
and safe way to managegenerator power is to sequentially
add loadsas follows:
I.
With nothing connected to the generator, start the
engine as described in this manual.
2.
Plug in and turn on the first load,preferably the largest
load you have.
3.
Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly.
4.
Plug in and turn on the next load.
5.
Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
NEVER add more loadsthan the generator capacity.Take
special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity,
as described above.
