Volts × Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow
these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to get up to
temperature.
3. Make sure all circuit breakers are set to the run position.
4. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item
with the largest load first.
5. Allow the engine to stabilize.
6. Plug in and turn on the next item.
7. Allow the engine to stabilize.
8. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the
generator.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start or stop the
generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
2. Let generator run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
engine and alternator temperature.

Moving the Generator
CAUTION
NEVER lift or carry the generator using the folding handle.
NEVER tilt sideways while moving the generator.
ALWAYS place the generator on its wheels in the upright
position.
ALWAYS turn the generator off and ensure the fuel valve is
closed.
ALWAYS make sure engine and muffler are cooled down
before the generator can be handled safely (typically 15-30
minutes).
WARNING
The folding handle is not long enough to hold and walk with a
full stride when moving the generator. Always side step as you
walk to avoid injury to your heels and/or feet. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in personal injury or damage to
the generator.
1. Begin by raising the folding handle, found on opposite side of
wheels.
2. Using the handle, tilt the end of the generator slightly off the
ground until balanced on the wheels.
3. While maintaining balance, roll the generator to the desired
location.
