Ac Operation - Honda EM4000SX Owner's Manual

OPERATION

AC OPERATION

If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or
stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and
determine whether the problem is in the appliance or the rated load
capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Substantial overloading may damage the generator. Marginal
overloading may shorten the service life of the generator.
1. Turn the voltage selector switch
to either position.
With the voltage selector switch
in the ''120V/240V'' position,
you can use the 120V and 120V/
240V receptacles
simultaneously. If you are NOT
using 240 volts, then select the
''120V ONLY'' position.
2. Start the engine (see page
3. Switch ON the AC circuit breaker.
4. Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances
require more than their rated
wattage for startup.
5. Turn on the appliance.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an
overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector
to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait a few
minutes and then reset the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector.
If the generator is overloaded and the internal circuit is overheated,
current to the connected appliance(s) may shut off, even though the
AC circuit breaker stays ON and the engine keeps running.
Stop the engine and correct the problem. Allow the generator to cool
for a few minutes, and then restart the engine (see page
