A STEELFORT PRODUCT
Push by push button
Suitable for recoil start and electric start
After the generator is started, turn the combination
switch to “RUN” position. After the above operation,
the generator can be loaded.
CONNECT TO ELECTRICAL
DEVICES
Inspect power cord for damage before using. A
hazard is electrical shocks from crushing, cutting or
heat damage.
1.
Confirm that the generator is grounded. If
the electric device requires grounding, the
generator must be grounded.
2.
Ensure that all electrical devices are turned off.
3.
After the generator is started, let it run for a
few minutes to allow it to warm up to a steady
state.
4.
Confirm the connection and then turn on the
electric device you expected.
5.
Before stopping the generator, please turn off
the electrical device or disconnect the output.
6.
If the generator provides power to more than
one electrical devices, start each electrical
device according to the size of the load, from
small to large.
DANGER
If connected devices overheat, turn them off and
disconnect them from generating set.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT
use electrical cords that are worn, frayed, bare
or otherwise damaged.
•
DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
•
DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords
while standing in water, while barefoot, or while
hands or feet are wet.
LOADING CAPACITY
You must make sure your generator can supply
enough rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for
the electrical devices you plan to power at the same
time. Follow these simple steps to calculate the
running and starting watts that are necessary for
your purposes.
WARNING
•
DO NOT overload the generator.
•
Exceeding the generator’s capacity can
damage the generator and/or electrical devices
connected to it. Faults and damaged caused by
overloading may void warranty.
1.
Select the electrical devices you will power at
the same time.
2.
The amount of power you need to run all the
devices is the total rated (running) watts of
these items.
3.
Identify how many surge (starting) watts you
will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of
power needed to start electric power tools and
or appliances. Because not all motors start at
the same time, total surge watts can
be estimated by adding only the electrical
device(s) with the highest additional surge
watts to the total rated watts from step 2.
