6.16. Air Conditioner Operation
Bring the generator to a normal operating temperature before applying the air conditioning load. Always allow a 2 minute
wait period when manually cycling an air conditioner off and on. A longer wait period may be required under unusually
hot weather conditions. Additionally, all other loads should be turned off until the air conditioner has started and is
performing normally. It is also important to follow the air conditioner manufacturer’s instructions for starting and restarting
for proper operation. Some air conditioner manufacturers offer a start capacitor as an extra cost option. The air conditioner
can overload the generator by pulling too high a starting current if there is not a start capacitor on the air conditioner.
Contact your air conditioner dealer if you consistently have problems starting your air conditioner with the generator. This
generator is not generally recommended for air conditioners exceeding 13,500 BTUs.
