AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
l
Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power
cords can create a potential for electrical shock.
l
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops
suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the applicance, and determine
whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the
generator has been exceeded.
l
Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not
exceed that of the generator, Never exceed the maximum power rating
of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used
for no more than 30 minutes.
1-1 Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker.
Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly
overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but
will shorten the service life of the generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.

5.0 KVA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
