Do Not Overload Generator
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated
wattage capacity can result in damage to the
generator and to connected electrical devices.
To prolong the life of your generator and attached
devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load
attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to
stabilize.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to
attach the item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.

an indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and
travels from the tank to the generator engine it
expands. The amount of frost that forms can be
affected by the size of the cylinder, the amount of
fuel being used, the humidity of the air and other
operating conditions. In unusual situations this frost
may eventually restrict the flow of LPG gas to the
generator resulting in deteriorating performance.
For example, if the tank temperature is reduced to a
very low level then the rate at which the LPG
vaporizes is also reduced and may not provide
sufficient fuel flow to the engine. This is not an
indication of a problem with the generator but only
a problem with the flow of gas from the LPG
cylinder. If generator performance seems to be
deteriorating at the same time that ice formation is
observed on tank valve, hose or regulator then some
actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom. In
these rare situations it can be helpful to reduce or
eliminate the cold fuel system effects by doing one
of the following:
