USING THE GENERATOR
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. This can trip the circuit protectors (circuit
breakers).
Fig. 6 - Estimated wattage requirements of common electrical devices
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 light and power indicator light. If the overload light is on, unplug the electronics, then re-
start the generator before plugging the load back in. If the reset button does not reset, wait several minutes and
try again. If the power light still does not come on, call the customer service number for further instructions.
