4.2 USING THE BG SERIES WITH YOUR APPLIANCES

After starting the BG Series you can connect your devices to it. Before starting make
sure you know what you can power with your generator.
Here's how you can decide:
Add the watt ratings of all the loads that the generator set will be powering at the
same time. Make sure that total wattage will not exceed the generator's rating.
EXAMPLE:
A generator set rated at 5000W can power two 1500W heaters, a 900W circular saw, a
500W drill and a 100W light at the same time (4500W combined). However, to operate
a second 900W saw, it will be necessary to disconnect one of the 1500 W heaters.
Note
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch OFF. Always
connect the generator to the ground terminal to prevent electrical shock.
