Operation
7.
Load And Circuit Breaker:
The total combined load
through the outlet on the generator must not exceed the
rated maximum power (800 watts) of the unit. Always
reduce the load if the AC circuit breaker turns off. Once the
load is reduced, press the breaker to reset the generator and
continue operation.
8.
Calculating Power Draw:
Power draw can be calculated by
multiplying volts and amps. The resulting number is wattage.
Never exceed the rated maximum wattage (800) for the
generator or outlet. Refer to appliance/tool owner’s manuals
to determine the wattage of electrical load devices.
Note: Long power cords and extension cords draw additional
power. Keep cord length at a minimum.
9.
AC Application:
Allow the engine to run at no load until
warm (approx. 3 minutes) after each start-up to allow the
engine to stabilize.
10. Plug the power cord of the 120 volt appliance/tool into the
120 volt AC outlet on the generator (see Figure 3).
Do not allow the generator to completely run out of fuel with
devices attached. A generator’s output may sharply spike as it
runs out of fuel, causing damage to attached devices.
11. When finished using the appliance/tool, unplug its power
cord from the AC outlet on the generator (see Figure 4).
12.
Generator Shut Off:
Remove all electrical load
devices from the generator. Allow the engine to run for
approximately 3 minutes with no electrical load.
13. Turn the generator’s power switch to OFF to stop the
engine (see Figure 5).
14. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
15. Allow the generator to completely cool down before
storing, at least 20 minutes.
16. For any lengthy time of storage, more than 20 days,
completely empty the fuel from the generator’s fuel tank
and engine’s fuel lines. Cover and store in a well ventilated
area.
