tors. The generator’s rated watts should match
or exceed the total number of watts required
for the equipment you want to run.
The altitude and temperature can modify the
generator’s ratings. Use the Table 2 to calcula-
te the generator’s rating, multiply the factor x
rated output in the generator’s specs when the
condition is not at 21ºC at the sea level.
Always connect first to the generator the hea-
viest load, and then add other items one at a
time.
CAUTION: Operating voltage and frequency
requirements of all electronic equipment
should be checked prior plugging them into this
generator. Damage may result if the equipment
is not designed to operate within +/- 10% of
voltage and +/- 3 Hz of the rated values marked
in the generator´s nameplate. To avoid damage,
always have an additional no solid state load
plugged into the generator if only solid state
equipment (such as a television set) is used.
A power line conditioner is recommended for
some solid state applications.
VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS
A power line conditioner should be used when
running one or more of the following solid state
items: Garage door openers. Kitchen appliances
with digital displays. Televisions. Stereos. Perso-
nal computers. Quartz clocks. Copy machines.
Telephone equipment.
