DON'T OVERLOAD THE
GENERATOR
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated
wattage capacity can result in damage to generator
and to connected electrical devices. Observe the fol¬
lowing, to prevent overloading the unit:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to
be connected at one time. This total should NOT
be greater than the generator’s wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data plate or
decal affixed to the device.
• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give
wattage, multiply volts times ampere rating to deter¬
mine watts (volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors, such as induction types,
require about two-and-a-half times more watts of
power for starting than for running. This surge of
power lasts for only a few seconds when starting
such motors. Be sure you allow for this high starting
wattage when selecting electrical devices to con¬
nect to your generator. First figure the watts
needed to start the largest motor. Add to that figure
the running watts of all other connected loads.
• Items in the guide below are provided to help you to
determine how many items the generator can oper¬
ate at one time
ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES
M Low Oil Pressure Shutdown System
The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor
that shuts down the engine automatically when the oil
pressure drops below 6 psi. If the engine shuts down
by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check
engine oil level.
1. Initial Start-up: A delay built in the shutdown
system allows oil pressure to build during starting.
The delay allows the engine to run for about 10 sec¬
onds before sensing oil pressure.
2. Sensing Low Pressure: If the system senses low
oil pressure during operation, the engine shuts
down.
3. Restarting: If you try to restart the engine within 5
to 10 seconds after it shuts down, the engine may
NOT start. The system needs 5 to 10 seconds to
reset.
IMPORTANT: If you do restart the engine after such a
shutdown and not corrected the low oil pressure, the
engine runs for about 10 seconds as described above
and then stops.
