CAUTION- The generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time. Connect
electrical devices requiring a rated (running) wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage of
the generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of the
generator.

NOTE: The above wattage figures are estimates. Try to check the wattage listed on your electrical
device before consulting this chart.
Figure 11- Estimated wattage requirements of common electrical devices.
Once you have determined what electrical devices you will be powering with the generator, connect
these devices according to the following procedure:
1. Plug in each electrical device with the device turned off. NOTE: Be sure to attach appliances
to the correct receptacle (outlet). Connect standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz loads only to
the 120 Volt receptacles. Connect 240/120 Volt, single phase, 60Hz loads with a NEMA L14-
30 plug only to the 240/120 Volt receptacle See Figure 12 for a depiction of each of these
receptacles.
2. Check that the power indicator light(s) are lit over the outlet(s) you are about to use. If the
light(s) is not on, press the circuit reset buttons. If the light still does not come on, call our
customer service number for further instructions.
