TOTAL WATTAGE, VOLTAGE AND INSTALLATION
- 5 -
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to your
generator it is necessary to know the total waage of the connected
load. To determine which tools and/or appliances your generator
will run follow these steps:
1. Determine if you want to run one item or mulple items
simultaneously.
2. Check waage requirements for the items you will be running by
referring to the load’s nameplate or by calculang it (mulply amps
x volts = was).
3. Total the was for each item. If the nameplate only gives volts
and amps, mulply volts x amps = was. 1 KW = 1,000 was.
4. Motorized appliances or tools require more than their rated
waage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2 1/2 to 4 mes the listed waage for starng
equipment powered by electric motors.
5. The generator’s rated was should match or exceed the total
number of was required for the equipment you want to run.
6. Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first, then add
other items one at a me.

WARNING
Operang voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic
equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this
generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to
operate within a +/- 10% voltage variaon, and +/- 3 Hz frequency
variaon from the generator name plate rangs. To avoid damage,
always have an addional load plugged into the generator if solid
state equipment (such as a television set) is used. A power line
condioner is recommended for some solid state applicaons.
A power line condioner should be used when running one or more
of the following solid state items:
Garage door openers, Kitchen appliances with digital displays,
Televisions, Stereos, Personal computers, Quartz clocks, Copy
machines, Telephone equipment, and other solid state equipment
may require a power line condioner.
WARNING
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage, a
registered electrician or an authorized service representave
should perform installaon and all services. Under no
circumstances should an unqualified person aempt to wire into a
ulity circuit.
To avoid back feeding into ulity systems, isolaon of the residence
electrical system is required.
Before temporary connecon of the generator to the residence
electrical system, turn off the main service/disconnect.
If your generator is to be used as a stand-by power source in case of
ulity power failure, it should be installed by a registered
electrician and in compliance with all applicable local electrical
codes.
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be installed
by a licensed qualified electrician so that the building's electrical
circuits may be safely switched between ulity power and the
generator's output, thereby prevenng back feed into the power
ulity's electrical system.
WARNING
To avoid back feeding into ulity systems, isolaon of the
residence electrical system is required. Before temporary
connecon of a generator to the residence electrical system turn
off the main switch. Before making permanent connecons a
double throw transfer switch must be installed. To avoid
electrocuon or property damage, only a trained electrician
should connect generator to residence electrical system. California
law requires isolaon of the residence electrical system before
connecng a generator to residence electrical systems. Temporary
connecon not recommended due to back feeding.
Always follow local codes and regulaons that apply to the
installaon of any item that concerns this product.
