You must
make
sure your
generator
can suppHy enough
rated
(running)
and surge
(starting)
watts
for the items you
wHH power
at the same time.
Follow
these
simpHe steps:
[.
SeHect the items you will power
at the same time.
2.
Tota[ the rated
(running)
watts
of these
items.This
is
the amount
of power
your
generator
must
produce
to
keep your
items
running.
See Figure 9.
3.
Estimate
how
many
surge
(starting)
watts
you
will
need.
Surge
wattage
is the
short
burst
of power
needed
to start
eHectric
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.

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
Ioad, 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.
