*If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply
volts times ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps =
watts).
*Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about
three times more watts of power for starting than for running.
This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting such
motors. Make sure to allow for high starting wattage when
selecting electrical devices to connect to the generator.
1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.
The wattage reference guide is provided to assist in determining
how many items the generator can operate at one time.
All figures are approximate. See data label
on appliance for wattage requirements.
