Connecting Electrical Loads
Stopping the Engine in an Emergency
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
12
Familiarize yourself with the engine controls, power panel and how to start the engine before using the
Generator. Calculate the wattage of the products you will use with the Generator and verify that the
Generator can handle the total load.
Connect only properly wired plugs to the Generator. A plug that is spliced onto a
different cord may be hazardous. Only a qualified electrician should wire a plug onto a cord.
CAUTION Never exceed the rated capacity for this Generator, as serious damage to the Generator
and/or appliances, tools, and equipment could result from an overload. Starting and running wattage
requirements should always be calculated when matching this Generator’s wattage capacity to the
appliance, tool, or equipment.
Do not charge batteries without a proper charge controller. Do not overcharge. a.
Connect the items that require the most wattage first. b. Connect “inductive” load appliances, tools, and
equipment next. Inductive loads are small hand tools and some small appliances. c. Connect any lights
next. d. Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be connected to the
Generator. Plug voltage sensitive items such as TVs, DVD players, microwaves, and cordless telephones
into a CE® Listed voltage surge protector (not included). Then, connect the surge protector into the
Generator.
IMPORTANT! Failure to connect and operate appliances, tools, and equipment in this sequence can
cause damage to the Generator, appliances, tools, and equipment and will void the Warranty of this
Generator.
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the Engine Switch off.
NOTICE: Generator shut-off under load may damage the Generator and attached equipment.
