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.
