AC operation

1. Start the engine.

2. Turn the voltage selector switch to either position as required.

NOTE: With the voltage selector switch in the "1 20V/240V" position, you

can use the 120V and 240V receptacles simultaneously. If you are not us-

ing the

240V receptacle, but you require more power from the 120V twist-

lock receptacle, then turn the switch to the "1 20V" position.

3. Switch on the AC circuit breaker.

Plug in the appliance.

CAUTION:

Be sure that appliances do not exceed the generator's rated load capaci-

for more than

minutes, and that they never exceed the maximum

load capacity. Substantial overloading will switch off the circuit breaker.

Marginal overloading may not switch off the circuit breaker, but

will

shorten the service life of the generator.

If an overloaded circuit

causes the AC circuit breaker to switch off,

reduce the electrical load on the circuit, and wait a few minutes before

resetting the circuit breaker.

Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting

them to the generator. If an appliance begins t o operate abnormally,

becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the circuit breaker and the

generator engine switch immediately. Then disconnect the

appliance

and examine if for signs of malfunction.
