GEN2000LP 2000 Surge Watt / 1350 Running Watt Portable LP Generator Manual 17
Connect electrical devices to this generator according to the following procedure:
1. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started.
2. Confirm that the electrical device is switched off prior to plugging it into this generator.
Connect only electrical devices that are in good working order. Faulty devices or power cords present the risk of electrical shock.
Immediately turn off and disconnect any device that commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or abruptly stops. Determine if the
problem was the device or the rated load capacity of this generator has been exceeded.
NOTE: Plug appliances into the correct outlet. Connect standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz loads to the 120 Volt outlet. See Figure 8 for an
illustration of these outlets.
Even though this Model GEN2000LP Portable LP Generator has an overall rated wattage of 2000, do not attempt to draw more than 1350
Watts (20 A) from any ONE of the 120 Volt outlets. Draws higher than 1350 Watts (20 A) will damage this generator and void the warranty.
3. Make sure AC Reset button is pressed in.
4. Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device
with the next lower rated wattage requirement.
Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to this generator.

SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin cords can require more wattage from a generator to power an electrical device. Figure 9 shows the recommended cords according to
the power requirement of the electrical device. When using cords that exceed these specifications, allow for the electrical device to have a slightly
higher rated wattage requirement.
