Powering Appliances
•
Plan carefully:
Before using generator to power
appliances, take time to add power rating (watts) of
each appliance and verify that total wattage does not
exceed rated output of generator. Power rating infor-
mation can usually be found on an appliance’s prod-
uct label, or stamped inside or on back of appliance.
See Table
1 for a listing of average appliance wattage
requirements.
•
NEVER overload:
Circuit breakers will stop flow of
electricity between generator and appliance if genera-
tor is overloaded. This will be indicated by a “tripped”
breaker. If this happens, power off and disconnect
appliance(s), wait a few minutes, and then push to
reset circuit breaker.
•
Pay attention to appliance operation:
If appliance
begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or
stops suddenly, turn it OFF immediately. Disconnect
appliance and determine whether problem is appli-
ance, or if rated load capacity of generator has been
exceeded.
•
Use suitable extension cords:
If using an extension
cord to connect appliance to generator, use only UL-
listed, three-prong extension cords. Be sure exten-
sion cord is proper size (wire-gauge) to handle elec-
tric load that will be plugged into it.
Appliance Wattage Information
Use table below as a guide to determine how much power
you will need to run appliances using generator.
Faulty appliances and power cords can result in elec-
trical shock.
• Before attempting to power an appliance, be sure genera-
tor has been properly grounded, and that appliance and
power cord are in good working order.
Do not run power cords under carpet, rugs, or other materi-
als where heat might build up or cord damage may go unno-
ticed.
The values provided in following table are estimates only.
• ALWAYS verify actual wattage requirements for appliance
you will be powering. Check labels inside or on the back
of appliance, refer to appliance operating manuals, or
contact appliance manufacturer.
