OPERATION
2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off
then plug the device or extension cord into one of the
AC receptacles.
3. Turn on the device.
NOTE: Should this current be exceeded, the circuit
protection device will activate and cut all current to
the receptacle. This will be indicated by the push
button popping out. Unplug everything that is
plugged into the receptacle and reset the circuit
protector by pushing in the button and then push in
the Overload Reset switch.
Should the generator's maximum load of 25 amps be ex-
ceeded, AC power will be cut off but the engine will stay
running, This will be indicated by the push button popping
out. Correct the overload condition Reduce the load to the
receptacle and reset the circuit protector by pushing in
the button. AC power will be restored immediately.
AC Capacity
In case of substantial overloading, the electronic circuit
protector will activate. Slightly overloading the generator
or running at maximum power operation (30 minutes)
may not switch the circuit ON, but will shorten the service
life of the generator.
Maximum power is:
3.0 kW
For continuous operation, do not exceed rated power:
2.8 kW
Consider the total power requirements of all connected
devices. Appliance and power-tool manufacturers usually
list the rating information near the model or serial number.
After plugging in a device, allow the generator to stabilize
before plugging in additional items. Always consider the
generator capacity before plugging in any device.
NOTE: Typical wattages are listed in the table below.
Before plugging any device into the generator, verify
the manufacturer-listed wattage on the device.
