running, but it is also recommended that the battery be fully
charged at least once per month or maintained with a smart
charger (included).
Connecting Electrical Loads
Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 (if applicable) Volt AC
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
–
DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
–
DO NOT overload the generator.

WARNING
Connecting a generator to your electric utility company’s
power lines or to another power source may be against
the law. In addition this action, if done incorrectly, could
damage your generator and appliances and could cause
serious injury or even death to you or a utility worker who
may be working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please notify
your electric utility company immediately and remember to
plug your appliances directly into the generator. Do not plug
the generator into any electric outlet in your home. Doing
so could create a connection to the utility company power
lines. You are responsible for ensuring that your generator’s
electricity does not feed back into the electric utility power
lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building electrical
system, consult your local utility company or a qualified
electrician. Connections must isolate generator power from
utility power and must comply with all applicable laws and
codes.
Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting
watts necessary for your purposes:
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the
same time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the amount
of power you need to keep your items running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices
identified in step 1. Add this number to the number
calculated in step 2. Starting wattage is the extra burst
of power needed to start some electric driven equipment.
Following the steps listed under "Power Management" will
guarantee that only one device will be starting at a time.
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts:
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 stabilize.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the
item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.

NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to
the generator.
