Operating AC auxiliary power (Generator)

WARNING!
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Connect only properly wired plugs to the receptacles.
This should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Make sure that the receptacles (120 or 240 volts) tools and equipment are compatible
with the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the generator.
1. Check if the AC auxiliary power receptacles can handle the power required by the
electrical equipment to be connected.
2. Start the engine and allows it to run and warm up for five minutes without electrical load
connected to the AC auxiliary power receptacles.
3. It is a good practice to test the 120 V AC GFCI receptacles before each use as follows:
a) Press Test Button on receptacle to trip the GFCI device.
b) The Reset Button should pop up, cutting off electricity to the receptacle. If this
test fails, do not use receptacle until it is repaired or replaced.
c) Press the Reset Button in to enable again the output voltages at all the
receptacles.
4. Move the Circuit Breaker upwards to the ON position to enable the output voltages at all
the AC auxiliary power receptacles.
5. Plug in the electrical equipment.
a) Connect the first item that requires more power.
b) Connect "inductive" load appliances, tools, and equipment next. Inductive loads
are small hand tools and some small appliances.
c) Following that, connect any lights.
d) Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be
connected.
NOTE!
Do not connect the voltage sensitive items such as TVs, DVD players, microwaves, etc
without a power line conditioner (not included).
6. After concluding the work, move the Circuit Breaker downwards to the OFF position and
disconnect all the electrical loads form the receptacles.
NOTE!
Do not allow Generator to run out of fuel with loads connected.
NOTE!
Failure to connect and operate can cause damage to the Generator and/or to the
appliances, tools, and equipment connected and will invalidate the Warranty of this
Generator.
