Fig. 6 - Estimated wattage requirements of common electrical devices

If the electrical specifications are not available for your electronic devices, estimate the watts requirement of the 
device by using the chart in Figure 6.

When the rated wattage requirement of each electrical device has been determined, add these numbers to find 
the total rated wattage needed.  If this number exceeds the rated wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all 
these devices.  Select a combination of electrical devices, which have a total rated wattage lower than or equal to 
the rated wattage of the generator.

CAUTION: The generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time.  Connect electrical devices 
requiring a rated (running) wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage of the generator.  Never connect devices 
requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of the generator. 

Note: The above wattage figures are estimates. Check the wattage listed on the electrical device before consulting 
this chart. Once the electrical devices have been chosen, connect them according to the following procedure:

1. Plug in each electrical device, making sure that the device is turned off.   

2. Check the overload and output lights.  If the overload light is on, unplug the electronics, then restart the genera-
tor before plugging the load back in. If the overload light continues to illuminate, reduce the load before continu-
ing.  Wait several minutes and try again. If the power light still does not come on, call the customer service num-
ber for further instructions.
