Note that when the genset is loaded nearly to full power, it is possible that it may stall when the air
conditioner (or other large load) "cycles on". The reason for this is that for a brief moment at startup
a motor draws up to three times the power stated on its nameplate. You may, therefore, have to
consider operating some appliances at times when the air conditioner or other large motor load is not
"On".
Note also that as altitude increases air density decreases, causing genset engine power to decrease
(even when the altitude adjust knob is set correctly - see Varying Operating Conditions). Power
decreases approximately 3.5 percent of rated power each 1000 feet (305 M) of increase in elevation
above sea level. See Table 3 for the results of calculations for a typical genset. Therefore, at higher
altitudes consider operating fewer appliances at the same time.
Electrical equipment and tools must be properly grounded and in good working condition.

WARNING: Electrical shock can cause severe personal injury or death. Read and
