Using The Generator
WARNING: It is prohibited to start or close the generating set when the output terminal of
generating set is connected to an electric device is in “ON” state.
Connect to electrical devices
● Inspect power cord for damage before using. There is a hazard of electrical shock from crushing, cutting
or heat damage.
● Make sure that the generating set has been properly grounded. If the electric devices require grounding,
the generating set must ground.
● Make sure that the electric devices are in “OFF” position.
● Allow the engine to stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
● Connect and start the electric devices.
● Turn off all electric devices and disconnect them from the generating set.
● If the generating set supplies for several loads or electric devices, start the smallest one first and the
largest one last.
DANGER: If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them from generating set.
Electrical Shock
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise
damaged. DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles. DO NOT handle generating set or electrical cords
while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
WARNING: Do not overload the generating set.
Exceeding the generating set’s capacity can
damage the generating set and/or electric devices
connected to it.
You must make sure your generating set can supply
enough rated (running) and (starting) watts for the
electrical devices at the same time. Follow these simple
steps to calculate the running and starting watts necessary
for your purposes.
1. Count the electrical devices you will power at the same
time.
2. The amount of power you need to run with the devices
is the total rated (running) watts of these items.
3. Starting power is the power needed shortly when
electric devices start. Since not all devices start at the
same time, starting power can be estimated by the
maximum power of all devices plus the total power
counted in step 2.
WARNING: It is necessary to equip with circuit protector or switch to isolate the generating set
from the electric utility when the generating set is mainly used for backup. Failure to isolate the
generating set from the power utility may result in injury or death to electric utility workers and damage to
the generating set due to back feed of electrical energy.
When using AC power, you can use DC power at the same time. If using both AC and DC output sockets,
