Follow the steps below to properly connect your device(s) to the generator:
1. Before connecting electrical devices, allow the generator to run for a few minutes to stabilize the speed and volt-
age output.
2. Select the device with the highest wattage, and make sure it is turned off. Plug the device into the matching gen-
erator outlet and then turn the device on. Allow the engine to stabilize.
3. Repeat step 2 to plug in each additional device. Do not attempt to plug in or start multiple devices at the same
time.
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL DEVICES
CAUTION: Become familiar with the functions and capacity of each component on the control panel (page 11)
before connecting electrical devices. Do not overload generator or individual panel receptacles. Do not connect
50Hz or 3-phase loads to the generator.
IN CASE OF OVERLOAD
If your generator becomes overloaded from too much drawn wattage, the push-to-reset circuit breaker(s) on your
control panel will activate and cut off the output. When an overload occurs, reduce the load by turning off and
unplugging your electronic device(s), then press the activated circuit breaker to reset your generator. If the circuit
breaker does not reset, wait several minutes and try again. If no power is produced after resetting, restart your
generator.
SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin extension cords can drain the power provided to your electrical devices. Refer to the following chart in
determining the necessary gauge extension cord for each of your devices. Round up to the higher amperage in the
chart to maximize safety.

WARNING! Generator should only be connected to electrical devices, either directly or with an extension
cord. NEVER CONNECT TO A BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM unless a qualified electrician has connected the
generator to a transfer switch as a separately derived system. Such connections must comply with local electri-
cal laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back-feed, which may result in serious injury or death.
