6 Owner’s Manual for Power Station
Know Power Station Limits
Overloading a Power Station can result in
damage to the Power Station and connected
electrical devices. Observe the following to
prevent overload:
• Add the total wattage of all electrical
devices to be connected at one time. This
total should NOT be greater than the Power
Station's wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken
from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools,
appliances, and motors can be found on a
data label or decal affixed to the device.
• If the appliance, tool, or motor does not
give wattage, multiply volts times ampere
rating to determine watts (volts x amps =
watts).
• Some electric motors, such as induction
types, require approximately three times
more watts of power for starting than for
running. This surge of power lasts only a
few seconds when starting such motors.
Make sure to allow for high starting wattage
when selecting electrical devices to con-
nect to the Power Station:
1. Calculate the watts needed to start the
largest motor.
2. Add the starting watts to the running watts
of all other connected loads.
The Wattage Reference Guide is provided to
assist in determining how many items the
Power Station can operate at one time.
NOTE: All figures are approximate. See data
label on appliance for wattage requirements.
