CALCULATING THE TOTAL WATTAGE
When the rated wattage requirement of each electrical device has been determined, add these numbers to find the
total rated wattage needed. If this number exceeds the rated wattage (4500W) of the generator, DO NOT connect
all these devices. Select a combination of electrical devices, which have a total rated wattage lower than or equal to
the rated wattage of the generator.
CAUTION: The generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time. Connect electri-
cal devices requiring a rated (running) wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage (4500W) of the
generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of the generator.
This can trip the circuit protectors (circuit breakers).
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL DEVICES
1. Before connecting electrical devices, allow the generator to run for a few minutes to stabilize the speed and volt-
age output.
CAUTION: Become familiar with the markings on the control panel (Fig. 12) before connecting elec-
trical devices. Do not connect 50Hz loads to the generator.
2. Make sure that all devices are turned off. Start plugging in each electric device, from the highest wattage to the
lowest. Check the power indicator light to ensure the generator is producing power.
3. Do not overload the generator or individual panel receptacles. If an overload occurs, the power indicator light
will turn off. Unplug all electrical devices and then press the circuit breaker to reset. Check the total wattage of the
devices and reduce the load if it exceeds the capacity of the generator. Then plug the loads back in one by one.
NOTE: If the circuit breaker does not reset, wait several minutes and try again. If the power light still does not come
on, call the customer service number for further instructions.
