wattage capacity can result in damage to the 
generator and to connected electrical devices.
To prolong the life of your generator and 
attached devices, follow these steps to add 
electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load 
 attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes 
 to stabilize.

 attach the item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
