PLANNING THE POWER LOAD

Plan your power load so that you do not exceed the generator’s rate capacity. To calculate the

running and start-up wa

age requirements for the devices you will be powering, follow the steps

on page 18.

SET UP THE PORTABLE POWER SOURCE

This generator is designed to provide up to its max power (in wa

s) of electrical power. When

using the generator as a portable power source, you can plug electric devices and appliances

directly into the generator’s electrical outlets. This generator is equipped with two SAA

approved IP66 rate socket outlets.

Make sure you plug each electrical device/appliance into the correct generator outlet based on

the device’s plug conﬁgura

and voltage/amperage ra ng. NEVER exceed the amperage

ng of an outlet. Note: You must NOT overload the generator. Overloading may cause

serious damage to the generator and a ached electrical devices.

SET UP AS BUILDING BACK UP

To set up as a building backup, you must arrange for a licensed electrician to connect the

generator to your building’s electrical system via the installa on of an approved transfer

switch. The transfer switch must be installed in accordance with the building electrical code

and guidelines supplied by your power company.

A transfer switch does the following:

Safely connects the generator to your building’s electrical system by isola

Connects your generator to a cri

cal subset of your building’s circuits that are needed

for emergency power needs.

Note:

Regardless of whether you use your generator as a back-up power source connected to a

building or as a portable power source, you MUST NOT overload the generator. Overloading

may cause serious damage to the generator and a ached electrical devices.
