AC Applications

Make sure all appliances are in good working order before connecting
them to the generator. 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 due
to an appliance problem, or generator overloading.
Be sure that appliances do not exceed the generator's rated load
capacity for more than 30 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 it will shorten the service life of the generator.
Most appliance and power tool motors require more than the rated
operating current for start-up. To match appliance power needs to
generator capability, allow enough generator power reserve to
accommodate motor start-up requirements.
An overload will trip (switch off) the circuit breaker. If this happens,
reduce the electrical load on the circuit. Wait a few minutes before
resetting the circuit breaker.
Operation:
1. Start the engine. Makes sure the pilot lamp comes on (Equipped
type only).
2. Make sure that the voltmeter indicates the specified voltage. If not
adjust with the voltage adjustment knob (Equipped type only).
Although voltage adjustment is usually not required, fine
adjustments may be made by turning the voltage adjustment knob.
Use the generator at the specified voltage.
(F, G and GW types only) The voltmeter indicates only three-phase
voltage.
