OPERATION

Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all 

electrical

 equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this

 

generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 Hz

 

frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To reduce the risk of damage, always have an additional load

 

plugged into the generator if solid

-

state equipment (such as television set) is used. A power line conditioner is 

recommended

 

for some solid state applications.
