You must make sure your generator
can supply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you
will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
I.
Select the items you will power at the same time.
2.
Total the rated (running) watts of these items.This
is
the amount of power your generator
must produce to
keep your items running. See Figure 7.
3.
Estimate
how many surge (starting)
watts you will
need. Surge wattage
is the short
burst of power
needed
to start electric
motor-driven
tools
or
appliances
such as a circular
saw or refrigerator.
Because
not 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.

Power Management
To prolong
the life of your generator
and attached
devices,
it is important
to take care when adding electrical
loads to
your generator.There
should
be nothing
connected
to the
generator
outlets
before
starting
it's engine.The
correct
and safe way to manage generator
power
is to sequentially
add loads as 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
loads than the generator
capacity.Take
special care to consider
surge loads in generator
capacity,
as described above.
