DANGER
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, or barefoot, or while
hands or feet are wet.
1. Allow the engine to stabilise and warm up for a
few minutes after starting.
2. Make sure the electrical devices in “OFF” position
and the load current is not higher than the maximum
withstanding current of single socket.
CAUTION
If the current of a single load is higher than the max-
imum withstanding current of single socket, please
connect the load with the terminal.
3. Turn the AC breaker protector to “ON” position.
CAUTION
If connected devices overheat, turn them off and
disconnect them from generator.
9. BEARING 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.
