Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning - Chicago Electric 95960 Set Up, Operating, And Servicing Instructions

a. volts x Amps = Watts (example: 120 volts x 3 Amps = 360 Watts)
b. To determine the approximate wattage requirement for most appliances, tools,
and equipment with "inductive" type motors, multiply the wattage that was calcu-
lated by 2 times to assure adequate Generator capacity.
c. The starting and running wattage for "resistant" loads are the same. Example: a
100 watt light bulb requires only 100 watts to turn on. Most resistant loads will be
listed in wattage.
5. Always power the largest electric motor first. The, plug in other appliances, tools,
and equipment.
a. Connect "inductive" load appliances, tools, and equipment first. Inductive loads
consist of small hand tools and some small appliances. Connect the items that
require the most wattage first.
b. Connect any lights next.
c. Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be con-
nected to the Generator. Plug voltage sensitive items such as T.V.'s, VCR's, mi-
crowaves, and cordless telephones into a UL® Listed voltage surge protector (not
included). Then, connect the surge protector into the Generator.
6. iMPORTANT!
this sequence can cause damage to the Generator, appliances, tools, and equip-
ment and will void the Warranty of this Generator.
7. Once the Engine is running, simply connect the 120 VAC appliances, tools, and
equipment into the 120 VAC Outlet Sockets (8, 10). Also, connect a 240 VAC ap-
pliance, tool, or equipment into the 240 VAC Outlet Socket (10B). (See Figure A.)
8. NOTE: If Engine speed or voltage fluctuates with a load below 250 watts, move
the Engine Choke Lever (21A) to the "HALF-CHOKE" position. (See Figure F.)
9. When finished using the Generator, disconnect all electrical loads. Turn the En-
gine Switch (2) to its "OFF" position to stop the Engine. Then, close the Engine
Fuel Valve (41). (See Figures A and F.)
10. Allow the Generator and its Engine to completely cool. Then store the unit in a
clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and other unauthorized people.
