Applying Load; Stopping The Generator - Powermate PM0135500 Operator's Manual

Allow generator to run at no load for two minutes upon each
initial start-up to permit engine and generator to stabilize.
• Provide adequate ventilation for toxic exhaust gases and
cooling air flow.
• Do not start or run the generator in an enclosed area,
even if door or windows are open.
• Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
• Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or
death.

APPLYING LOAD

This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full
capacity. Before starting the generator, disconnect all load.
Apply load only after generator is running. Voltage is
regulated via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for correct
output. Readjusting will void warranty.
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum wattage
rating of the generator when using one or more receptacles.
Also, do not exceed the amperage rating of any one
receptacle.
