DETERMINING TOTAL
WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and possible
damage to your generator it is necessary to
know the total wattage of the connected load.
To determine which tools and/or appliances
your generator will run follow these steps:
1.
Determine if you want to run one item
or multiple items simultaneously.
2.
Check wattage requirements for the
items you will be running by referring to
the load’s nameplate or by calculating it
(multiply amps x volts = watts).
3.
Total the watts for each item. If the
nameplate only gives volts and amps,
multiply volts x amps = watts.1 KW =
1,000 watts.
4.
Motorized appliances or tools require
more than their rated wattage for start
up.
NOTE: Allow 2 1/2 to 4 times the listed
wattage for starting equipment powered
by electric motors.
5.
The generator’s rated watts should match
or exceed the total number of watts
required for the equipment you want to
run.
6.
Always connect the heaviest load to the
generator first, then add other items one
at a time.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
CAUTION: Operating voltage and frequency
requirement of all electronic equipment
should be checked prior to plugging them
into this generator. Damage may result if
the equipment is not designed to operate
within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/-
3 hz frequency variation from the generator
name plate ratings. To avoid damage, always
have an additional load plugged into the
generator if solid state equipment (such as
a television set) is used. A power line
conditioner is recommended for some solid
state applications.
A power line conditioner should be used when
running one or more of the following solid
state items:
Garage door openers
Kitchen appliances with digital displays
Televisions
Stereos
Personal computers
Quartz clocks
Copy machines
Telephone equipment
Other solid state equipment may require a
power line conditioner. For more information,

INSTALLATION
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment
damage, a registered electrician or an
authorized service representative should
perform installation and all service. Under
no circumstances should an unqualified
person attempt to wire into a utility circuit.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems,
isolation of the residence electrical system is
required.
Before temporary connection of the generator
to the residence electrical system, turn off
the main service/disconnect.
If your generator is to be used as a stand-by
power source in case of utility power failure,
it should be installed by a registered electrician
and in compliance with all applicable local
electrical codes.
Proper use requires that a double throw
transfer switch be installed by a licensed
qualified electrician so that the building's
electrical circuits may be safely switched
between utility power and the generator's
output, thereby preventing backfeed into the
power utility's electrical system.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems,
isolation of the residence electrical system
is required. Before temporary connection of
