AC APPLICATIONS
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
z
Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or
power leads can create a potential for electrical shock.
z
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or
stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance,
and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated
load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
z
Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not
exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power
rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum
may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
Substantial overloading will switch off the engine. Exceeding the
time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the
generator may not switch OFF the engine, but will shorten the service
life of the generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
Maximum power is:
2,000 VA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is:
1,600 VA
In either case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances
