Connecting Electrical Loads - Predator 63080 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Connecting Electrical Loads

Familiarize yourself with the engine controls, power
panel and how to start the engine before using the
Generator. Calculate the wattage of the products you
will use
with the
Generator
and verify
that the
Generator
can handle
the total
load.
WARNING! Connect only properly wired plugs
to the Generator. A plug that is spliced onto a
different cord may be hazardous. Only a qualified
electrician should wire a plug onto a cord.
CAUTION Never exceed the rated capacity
for this Generator, as serious damage to the
Generator and/or appliances, tools, and equipment
could result from an overload. Starting and
running wattage requirements should always be
calculated when matching this Generator's wattage
capacity to the appliance, tool, or equipment.
IF ANY CIRCUIT BREAKERS TRIp CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
1. Make sure that ALL circuit breakers are reset
before starting the Generator again.
2. Adjust the plugs so the loads are
shared across outlet circuits.
To achieve rated output from the Generator,
distribute loads over outlets.
ITEM 63080 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
Use the DC12 V Receptacle to power 12 V DC
equipment.
WARNING! Do not charge batteries without a
proper charge controller. Do not overcharge.
a. Connect the items that require
the most wattage first.
b. Connect "inductive" load appliances, tools,
and equipment next. Inductive loads are small
hand tools and some small appliances.
c. Connect any lights next.
d. Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and
equipment should be the last to be connected to
the Generator. Plug voltage sensitive items such
as TVs, DVD players, microwaves, and cordless
telephones into a
®
UL Listed voltage surge protector (not
included). Then, connect the surge
protector into the Generator.
IMpORTANT! Failure to connect and operate
appliances, tools, and equipment in this
sequence can cause damage to the Generator,
appliances, tools, and equipment and will
void the Warranty of this Generator.
Note: If Engine speed or voltage fluctuates with a
load below the Generator's running watts, move the
Engine Choke Lever to the position.
Evenly distributed
over outlets:
