OPERATION

AC CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The circuit breakers will automatically switch OFF if 

there  is  a  short  circuit  or  a  significant  overload  of  the 

generator at each receptacle. The main circuit breaker 

will automatically switch OFF if the combined load of the 

receptacles exceeds 40 Amps. 
If an AC circuit breaker switches OFF automatically, 

check that the appliance is working correctly and it does 

not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before 

resetting the AC circuit breaker ON. 

GENERATOR CAPACITY

NOTICE

Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the 

generator’s wattage/amperage capacity can damage 

the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous 

(running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will 

power at the same time. 
The total power requirements (Volts x Amps = Watts) of all 

appliances connected must be considered. Appliance and 

power tool manufacturers usually list rating information 

near the model or serial number.
To determine power requirements:

1. 

Select the items you will power at the same time.

2. 

Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This 

is the amount of power the generator must produce 

to keep the items running. See the wattage reference 

chart on the next page.

3. 

Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need. 

Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to 

start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a 

circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start 

at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by 

adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge 

watts to the total rated watts from step 2.
