About Your Generator
This engine-driven, portable generator is designed to provide up to 4000Watts of
electrical power
(3100 watts continuous, 4000 watts surge).
It can supply power:
1.
As a portable power source. You can plug appliances directly into the generator’s
electrical outlets.
2.
As a back-up, standby power source for a building. A licensed electrician can connect
the generator to your building’s electrical system via the installation of an
UL-approved
transfer switch.
(See the “Installation & Initial Set-up” section of this manual to learn
more about specific requirements and precautions relating to wiring the generator to your
building’s electrical system.)
You must select a generator adequately sized for your power needs.
You need to
determine the power needs of all the appliances/tools you wish to power at the same time and
choose a generator rated to provide at least that power level. See the “Power Load Planning &
Management” section of this manual to determine your specific power load requirements and
then compare them to this generator’s rated capacity. You must not overload the generator.
Overloading will cause damage to the generator and attached electrical devices, and may also
result in fire.
Be sure to read about site selection and grounding requirements for running this
generator.
More detailed information can be found in the “Installation & Initial Set-up, Steps
5 & 6” of this manual.
