Using Your Appliances - Benchmark Midland Power BG Series Manual

4.3 USING YOUR APPLIANCES

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 loads the generator will be powering at the same time.
Make sure the total wattage will not exceed the generator's rating.
EXAMPLE:
A generator set rated 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 an extra 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 to STOP.
Always connect the generator to the ground terminal to prevent
electrical shock.
