Power Management
Start engine without anything connected to generator.
When engine has stabilized, plug in and turn on first load. It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the largest
output first and the smallest output last to help prevent overloading the generator.
Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.

To Balance the Load

To obtain the best output and performance of your Ford Generator it is best to make every effort to balance the
load on the outlets. Attempt to spread the load as evenly as possible by utilizing all outlets and try to run higher
wattage device onseparate outlets when possible. For example; if you have a device that draws 2,500W and a
device that draws 2,000W, put one plug in the left duplex receptacle and then plug the other device in the right
duplex receptacle which would be a more balance than placing both plugs in a single duplex receptacle putting
4,500W on one receptacle.
