GENERATOR USAGE
!
NOTICE: Do not run generator for extended periods
with no load or minimal load (eg. when charging batteries
or powering low wattage equipment such as TVs and
Radios). This may cause premature spark plug failure,
excessive carbon build up or high oil consumption. To
prevent this, run the generator periodically with an
increased load (More than 50% of generator capacity).
!
CAUTION: Do not exceed the current limit specified
for any one receptacle.
• Do not connect the generator to a household circuit.
This could cause damage to the generator or to
electrical appliances in the house.
• Do not modify or use the generator for purposes other
than its intended use.
• Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
•
When an extension cord is required, be sure to use a
insulated flexible cord rated for outdoor use. Also be
sure to use the proper size and length cord.
!
CAUTION: Keep the generator away from other
electric cables or wires such as commercial power supply
lines.
• The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is
in use. If you use both at the same time, be sure not to
exceed the total power for AC and DC.
• Most appliance motors require more than their rated
wattage for start-up.
