USING THE GENERATOR
WARNING : Never connect a generator directly to any existing electrical building circuit.
The generator can backfeed into power lines and electrocute nearby electrical repair workers.
Once you have allowed the engine to run for several minutes, you may connect electrical devices to the
generator.
CAUTION: Please familiarize yourself with the markings on the panel before connecting electrical
devices.
You may connect electrical devices running on AC current according to their wattage requirements.
The chart in figure 7 shows the rated and surge wattage of your generator.
The
rated wattage corresponds to the rated wattage the generator can output on a continuous basis.
The
maximum wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage the generator can output for a few
minutes.
The
surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power the generator can output for an
extremely short period of time (seconds). Many electrical devices such as refrigerators require short
bursts of extra power, in addition to the rated wattage listed by the device, to start their motors. The
surge wattage ability of the generator covers this extra power requirement.
Rated (Running) Wattage Maximum Wattage Surge Wattage
5500 6500 8000
7500 8500 10000
Figure 7- generator wattage.
The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to the generator should not
exceed the rated wattage of the generator itself. To calculate the total wattage requirement of the
electrical devices you wish to connect, find the rated (or running) wattage of each device. This
number should be listed somewhere on the device or in its instruction manual. If you cannot find this
wattage, you may calculate it by multiplying the Voltage requirement by the Amperage drawn:
Watts= Volts x Amperes
If these specifications are not available you may estimate the Watts required by your device by using
the chart in figure 8.
Once you have found the rated wattage requirement of each electrical device, add these numbers to
find the total rated wattage you wish to draw from the generator. If this number exceeds the rated
wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all these devices. Select a combination of electrical
devices, which has a total rated wattage lower than or equal to the rated wattage of the generator.
