Operation   of   Generator

   

HOW   TO   USE   YOUR   GENERATOR   

(continued)   

   

CONNECTING   ELECTRICAL   LOADS:

   

1.

 

Plug   in   desired   120   Volt   load   to   the   120   Volt   U-­‐Ground   Receptacle.      Do   NOT   

connect   240   Volt   loads   to   the   120   Volt   Receptacle.   

2.

 

Only   connects   single-­‐phase   60   Hertz   loads.   

3.

 

DO   NOT   OVERLOAD   THE   GENERATOR.      FOLLOW   THE   PROVIDED   “GENERATOR   

WATTAGE   REFERENCE   WORKSHEET”   TO   DETERMINE   THE   RUNNING   AND   

STARTING   WATTAGE   OF   YOUR   EQUIPMENT,      REFER   TO   THE   PRODUCT   

SPECIFICATIONS   TO   ENSURE   YOUR   GENERATOR   WILL   OPERATE   THE   DESIRED   

EQUIPMENT.      

   

NOTE:      

Use   the   running   and   starting   wattage   provided   by   the   equipment   manufacturer   

if   available.      If   not   available,   use   provided   “Generator   Wattage   Reference   Worksheet.”   

   

   
STOPPING   THE   GENERATOR:   

Refer   to   the   Controls   and   Features   Section   for   

diagram   and   definitions.   

1.

 

Unplug   all   electrical   loads   or   turn   the   main   breaker   to   the   “OFF”   position.   

2.

 

In   order   to   stabilize   internal   equipment   temperatures,   allow   the   engine   to   run   

for   3-­‐5   minutes   under   no   load.   

3.

 

If   the   generator   will   not   be   in   use   for   more   than   7   days,   turn   the   fuel   valve   the   

“OFF”   position   and   allow   the   unit   to   run   until   the   fuel   in   the   carburetor   is   used   

and   the   engine   shuts   itself   off.   

4.

 

Turn   the   ignition   switch   to   the   “OFF”   position.   

5.

 

Allow   unit   to   cool   to   ambient   temperature   before   storage   or   transportation.   

6.

 

Always   transport   the   generator   with   the   fuel   valve   in   the   “OFF”   position.      Failure   

to   do   so   will   result   in   damage   to   the   engine.
