WARNING
The generator must be run at the correct
speed in order to produce the proper electrical
voltage and frequency. Failure to do so could
result in damage to equipment powered by the
generator and possible injury to the individual.
Connecting loads
You will want to be careful when connecting loads so as not to overload the generator,
especially if you are powering devices with motors that require a higher starting power
load. Instructions are provided below for connecting loads when you are using the
generator as a portable power source.
!
WARNING
Do not overload generator. Make sure that
combined starting and running loads do
not exceed rated capacity of generator.
Overloading the generator can cause damage
to the generator and attached electrical devices
and may result in fire.
240V AC CONNECTION
Connect electrical loads one at a time according to the following instructions:
1. Allow engine to reach operating speed by allowing it to warm up for approximately 5
minutes before connecting electrical devices.
2. Check the device(s) to be connected is turned “OFF” before connecting them to the
AC outlets.
3. After engine is warmed up, begin by connecting the items that require the highest
wattage first.
The recommended sequence is as follows:
1. Connect items with motors such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, or small
hand tools, one at a time.
2. Let each motor stabilize before connecting the next device.
3. Connect any lights you are planning on powering.
4. Connect voltage sensitive equipment such as electronics via surge protectors. Plug
devices such as TV’s, computers and microwaves into a voltage surge protector, then
plug the surge protector into the generator.
