You must make sure your generator
can supply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you
will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
I.
Select the items you will power at the same time.
2.
Total the rated (running) watts of these items.This
is
the amount of power your generator
must produce to
keep your items running. See Figure 8.
3.
Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will
need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power
needed to start electric
motor-driven
tools or
appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator.
Because not aJJmotors
start at the same time, total
surge watts can be estimated by adding only the
item(s) with the highest
additional
surge watts
to the
total rated watts from step 2.

Manasement
To prolong the JJfeof your generator
and attached devices,
it is important
to take care when adding electrical
loads to
your generator.There
should be nothing connected to the
generator
outlets before starting it's engine.The correct
and safe way to manage generator
power is to sequentially
add loads as follows:
I.
With nothing
connected
to the generator,
start the
engine as described
in this manual.
2.
Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably
the largest
load you have.
3.
Permit
the generator
output
to stabilize (engine
runs
smoothly
and attached
device operates
properly.
4.
Plug in and turn on the next load.
5.
Again, permit
the generator
to stabilize.
6.
Repeat
steps 4 and 5 for each additional
load.
NEVER add more
loads than the generator
capacity.Take
special care to consider
surge loads in generator
capacity,
as described
above.
