This rating is applicable to installations served by a reliable
normal utility source. This rating is only applicable to
variable loads with an average load factor of 80% of the
standby rating. The standby rating is only applicable for
optional standby power where the generator set serves as
the backup to the normal utility source.
Use the "Wattage Reference Guide" provided and mark those
circuits you consider "critical" or "essential". Make sure you
and your installer consider the generator's altitude above sea
level and the ambient temperature range when determining
total generator load.
