Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
l
Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords
can create a potential for electrical shock.
l
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops
suddenly, turn if off immediately. Disconnect the applicance, and determine
whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the
generator has been exceeded.
l
Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed
that of the generator, Never exceed the maximum power rating of the
generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no
more than 30 minutes.

Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly
overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but

3.5KVA
