Maintenance

connecting electrical Loads

Familiarize yourself with the engine controls, power panel and how to start the engine before using the 

generator. Calculate the wattage of the products you will use with the generator and verify that the generator 

can handle the total load. 

WarninG!  

Connect only properly wired plugs to the generator.  

A plug that is spliced onto a different cord may be hazardous.  

Only a qualified electrician should wire a plug onto a cord. 

cautiOn  

Never exceed the rated capacity for this Generator, as 

serious damage to the Generator and/or appliances, tools, and 

equipment could result from an overload.  Starting and running 

wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching 

this Generator’s wattage capacity to the appliance, tool, or equipment.

Use the DC12V Receptacle to power 12VDC equipment. 

WarninG! 

Do not charge batteries without a proper charge controller. Do not overcharge.

a.  Connect the items that require the most wattage first.
b.  Connect “inductive” load appliances, tools, and equipment next.  Inductive 

loads are small hand tools and some small appliances.  

c.  Connect any lights next.
d.  Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be connected to the Generator.  

Plug voltage sensitive items such as TV’s, DVD players, microwaves, and cordless telephones into a UL® 

Listed voltage surge protector (not included).  Then, connect the surge protector into the Generator.

iMpOrtant!

  Failure to connect and operate appliances, tools, and equipment in this sequence can cause 

damage to the Generator, appliances, tools, and equipment and will 

void 

the Warranty of this Generator.

nOte:  

If Engine speed or voltage fluctuates with a load below the Generator’s running wattage, move the Engine 

Choke Lever to the 

 position.
