OPERATION
AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or
power cords can create a potential for electrical shock.
• 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 the appliance or the rated load
capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for
startup.
Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed
the maximum power rating of the generator.
Maximum power is:
7.0 kVA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is:
5.5 kVA
In either case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances
connected must be considered. Appliance and power tool
manufacturers usually list rating information near the model number or
serial number.
