Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts:
Volts × 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 get up to
temperature.
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.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to
the generator.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads. Never
start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in or turned on.
2. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and generator.
3. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
Important:
Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine
switch are in the “OFF” position when the generator is not in
use.
NOTICE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks or
longer, please see the
Storage
section for proper engine and
fuel storage.
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level.
Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio
decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced
approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea
level. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also
result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
Other high altitude issues can include hard starting, increased
fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power
loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet.
The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be
obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation
instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of
the CPE website.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the
application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in
the following table.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is
necessary to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose,
a code is stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the
correct high altitude jet part number corresponding to the
carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.
