ENGINE SPEED
Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering
with the engine speed adjustment could result in the overheating of
attachments and could cause a fire.
CONNECTING LOADS
You will want to be careful when connecting loads so as to not overload the
generator, especially if you are powering devices with motors that require a
higher starting power load.
Instructions are provided below for connecting loads when you are using
the generator as a portable power source.
240V AC CONNECTION
Connect electrical loads one at a time according to the following
instructions:
1.
Allow engine to reach operating speed by allowing it to warm up
for approximately 5 minutes before connecting electrical devices.
2. Check the devices to be connected are turned OFF before
connecting them to the AC outlets.
3. After the engine is warmed up, begin by connecting the items that
require the highest wattage first.
The recommended sequence is as follows:
1. Connect items with motors such as refrigerators, freezers, air
conditions or small hand tools, one at a time.
2. Let each motor stabilize before connecting the next device.
3. Connect any lights you are planning on powering.
4. Connect voltage sensitive equipment such as electronics via surge
protectors. Plug devices such as TV ’ s, computers and microwaves
into voltage surge protectors, then plug the surge protector into the
generator.
