Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a
potential for electrical shock.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off
immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if
the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the generator.
Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and
maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power
operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker or circuit protector
OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
AC Operation
1 Start the engine .
2 Turn the voltage selector switch to either position.
With the voltage selector switch in the ‘‘120/240V’’ position, you can use the 120V and 120/240V
receptacles simultaneously. If you are NOT using the 120/240V receptacle, but require more power
from the 120V locking plug receptacle, then select the ‘‘120V ONLY’’ position.
3 Switch the AC circuit breaker ON.
4 Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for startup.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit causes the
AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait
a few minutes and then reset the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector.
AC Receptacle Selection
The generator has two separate main power producing circuits. These two circuits supply equal power
to different receptacles shown when the voltage selector switch is in the 120/240V position.
When two or more receptacles are used; prevent overloading by dividing the load between the two
power circuits.
The chart below shows the rated load in amperes that can be connected to each receptacle to balance
the generator.
The total rated ampere draw is 65A.
Main Power Circuit Receptacles Powered by

Power Distribution
Main Circuit 1 2 and 5 2+5=32.5 A Rated
Main Circuit 2 1 and 4 1+4=32.5 A Rated
The table shows the specifications when the 120/240V locking plug receptacle is used for 120V.
