to the one 240V AC Outlet (6). Connect 12V DC appliances, tools, and equipment
only to the 12V DC Terminal (7). (See figure d.)
3. cAuTION! Never exceed the rated capacity for this Generator, as serious
damage to the Generator and/or appliances, tools, and equipment could result
from an overload. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be
calculated when matching this Generator's wattage capacity to the appliance, tool,
or equipment.
4. Most appliances, tools, and equipment will list on the motor nameplate the start-
ing and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to
convert voltage and amperage to wattage:
Volts x Amps = Watts (example: 120 volts x 3 amps = 360 watts)
5. To determine the approximate wattage requirement for most appliances, tools, and
equipment with "inductive" type motors, multiply the wattage that was calculated by
2 times to ensure adequate Generator capacity for motor load starting current.
NOTE:
6. The starting and running wattage for "resistant" loads are the same. Ex-
ample: a 100 Watt light bulb requires only 100 Watts to start. Most resistant loads
will be listed in wattage.
7. Always power the largest electric motor first. Then, plug in other appliances, tools,
and equipment one at a time.
a. Connect "inductive" load appliances, tools, and equipment first. Inductive loads
consist of small hand tools and some small appliances. Connect the items that
require the most wattage first.
b. Connect any lights next.
c. Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be con-
nected to the Generator and the first to be disconnected. Plug voltage sensitive
items such as T.V.'s, VCR's, microwaves, and cordless telephones into a UL
listed voltage surge protector (not included). Then, connect the UL Listed surge
protector into the Generator.
cAuTION! Failure to connect and operate appliances, tools, and equipment in
8.
this sequence can cause damage to the Generator, appliances, tools, and equip-
ment and will void the warranty on this Generator.
9. Once the Engine is running, simply connect the 120 volt appliances, tools, and
equipment into the 120V AC Outlets (5). Connect a 240 volt appliance, tool, or
equipment into the 240V AC Outlet (6). Or connect a 12 volt appliance, tool, or
equipment into the 12V DC Outlet (8). (See figure d.)
IMPORTANT:
10.
move the Engine Choke Lever (21A) to the "HAlf-cHOKE" position.
