Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and
starting watts necessary for your purposes .
1 . Select the electrical devices you plan on running at
the same time .
2 . Total the running watts of these items . This is
the amount of power you need to keep your items
running .
3 . Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices
identified in step 1 . Add this number to the number
calculated in step 2 . Surge wattage is the extra
burst of power needed to start some electric driven
equipment . Following the steps listed under “Power
Management” will guarantee that only one device will
be starting at a time .
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and
amperage to watts:
Volts x Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached
devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:
1 . Start the generator with no electrical load attached
2 . Allow the engine to run for several minutes to stabilize .
3 . Plug in and turn on the first item . It is best to attach
the item with the largest load first .
4 . Allow the engine to stabilize .
5 . Plug in and turn on the next item .
6 . Allow the engine to stabilize .
