USING THE GENERATOR
WARNING: It is prohibited to start or close the generating set when the output terminal of
generating set is connected to an electric device is in “ON” state.
CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL DEVICES
1. Inspect power cord for damage before using. There is a hazard of electrical shock from crushing,
cutting or heat damage.
2. Make sure that the generating set has been properly grounded. If the electric devices require
grounding, the generating set must ground.
3. Make sure that the electric devices are in “OFF” position.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
5. Connect and start the electric devices.
6. Turn off all electric devices and disconnect them from the generating set.
7. If the generating set supplies for several loads or electric devices, start the smallest one first and the
largest one last.
DANGER: If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them from
generating set.
Electrical Shock
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, frayed, bare or
otherwise damaged. DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles. DO NOT handle generating set or
electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
LOADING CAPACITY
WARNING: Do not overload the generating set.
Exceeding the generating set’s capacity can
damage the generating set and/or electric devices connected
to it.
You must make sure your generating set can supply enough
rated (running) and (starting) watts for the electrical devices
at the same time. Follow these simple steps to calculate the
running and starting watts necessary for your purposes.
1. Count the electrical devices you will power at the same
time.
2. The amount of power you need to run with the devices is
the total rated (running) watts of these items.
3. Starting power is the power needed shortly when electric
devices start. Since not all devices start at the same time,
starting power can be estimated by the maximum power of
all devices plus the total power counted in step 2.
