Generac Pori_ble Produc_s 7,5,00 EXL Generator
DON'T OVERLOAD THE
GENERATOR
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated w_e
capaci_/_n result in dam_e to the generator and/or
connected electrical devices. Observe the following, to
prevent overloading the unit:
• Add up the total ware of all electri_l devices to be
connected at one _ime. This t_t_l should NOT be
grea_er than the generator's wa_e capacity.
• The rated ware of lights can be taken from light bulbs.
The rated ware of tools, appliances and motors can
usually be found on a dat_ pla_e or decal affixed to the
device.
• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wa_i_ge,
multiply 120 Volts times ampere rating to determine
wa_s (volts x amps = wa_i_),
• Some electric motors, such as inductJon _/pes, require
about three times more watts of power for starting than
for running, This surge of power lastsfor only a few
seconds when starting such motors, Be sure you allow
for this high starting wa_age when selec_Jng electrical
devices to connect to your generator. First figure the
wa_s needed to start the largest motor. Add to that
figure the running watts of all other connected loads.
• I_ems in the wattage reference guide (Figure 16) are
provided to help you to determine how many items the
generator can operate
at one
time,
