Extension Cord Selection
Refer to the above table to ensure the extension cord
used has the capacity to carry the required load.
If the size of the cable is inadequate it can cause
a voltage drop, which can damage the electrical
device and cord.
Moving the Generator
• Disconnect any electronic devices from generator
then turn generator off.
• Turn fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
• Tilt generator until it balances on wheels. Roll
machine to desired location.
• If the generator must be carried, fold handle to
the down position. Never lift or carry generator
by its handle.
This product is heavy and requires sever-
al people to lift. Lift and lower with your
legs by bending at the knees, not your back,
to avoid injury.
Don’t Overload the Generator
Make sure you can supply enough rated watts and
surge watts for all electrical devices connected to the
generator. Rated watts refer to the power a generator
must supply to keep a device running. Surge watts
refer to the power a generator must supply to start
an electrical device. This power surge for starting a
device usually lasts between 2-3 seconds but this
additional output must be taken into account when
selecting the electrical devices you plan to attach to
the generator. To prevent overloading the generator
take the following steps:
1. Add up the total rated wattage of all electronic
devices that will be connected to the generator
simultaneously.
2. Estimate surge watts by adding the item(s) with
the highest output (it is unnecessary to calculate
the surge output for all devices as they should
be connected one at a time).
3. Add the Surge Watts to the total Rated Watts in
step 1. Keep total load within generator’s power
capacity.
