2. Turn the Generator switch on the control
panel to the ON position.
Only plug power cords into the generator
receptacles AFTER the engine is running
Be careful not to overload the rated
capacity of the generator - 6,800 watts
(28 amps @ 240V) continuous.
Combined output on all generator receptacles is limited
to the total rated generator capacity. For example; if
1,500 watts (12.5 amps) is being drawn on the 120V
duplex receptacle, only 3,700 watts (15.5 amps) is
available at the 240V receptacle. Reference Appendix
A, Section A.3, Wattage Requirements for Common
Receptacle Units, for general information on the power
requirements of common power tools, motors and
extension cords. If the equipment is not listed in Section
A.3, check the desired power tool, motor or extension
cord manufacturer's specifications.
If the thermal overload circuit breakers on the generator
are tripped due to an overload condition, press the white
reset buttons on the generator panel to reset the
breakers (Figure 5-4).
If one of the generator circuit breakers is
tripped, the cause of the overload must
be determined before the circuit breaker
is reset and work is resumed.
