NOTE: The above wattage figu res are estimates. Try to check the wattage listed on your electrical
device before consulting this chart.
Figure 15- Estimated wattage requirements of common electrical devices.
Once you have determined what electrical devices you will be powering with the generator, connect
these devices according to the following procedure:
1. Plug in each electrical device with the device turned off. NOTE: Be sure to attach appliances to
the correct receptacle (outlet). Connect standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz l oads only to the
120 Volt receptacles. Connect 2 40/120 Volt, single phase, 60Hz loads with a NEMA L14 -30
plug only to the 240/120 Volt receptacle See Figure 1 6 for a depiction of each of these
receptacles.
2. Push the circuit breaker to the “on” position .
3. Move the voltage selector to the desired position. Move the switch to the left to use the standard
120 Volt receptacles. Move the switch to the right to use the 240/120 Volt NEMA receptacle.
4. The voltage meter will indicate accordingly as the Volt Selector is selected. It works when the
receptacles receive power. In the case of the 240/120 Volt receptacle, it will indicate 240V ±
20V. In the case of the 240/120 Volt receptacle, it indicates 120V ±10V.If the voltage meter
does not indicate accordingly or indicate wrong, call our customer service number for
instructions.
