AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a
potential for electrical shock.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off
immediately. Disconnect the appliance and determine whether the problem is the appliance
or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and
amperage capacity (120VAC @ 27 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the
unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group
one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator. Power
levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
CAUTION: ATTEMPTING TO POWER SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT SUCH AS COMPUTERS AND MEDICAL DEVICES
WITHOUT THE USE OF AN APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT. NEITHER TILLOTSON
POWER PRODUCTS LLC NOR ITS AFFILIATES ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY DI
RECT OR INDIRECT DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE
FAILURE TO USE AN APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER.
CAUTION: 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 or circuit
protector OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
AC Operation
Start the engine.
Switch the AC circuit breaker ON.
Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for startup. Do not exceed the
current limit specified for any one receptacle.
NOTE: The generator features an AC non-fuse circuit breaker to protect the
ac circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur, the breaker will
“trip” to its “off” position, causing the generator to automatically shut down.
In this case wait a few minutes and then, reset the circuitry system by turning
the circuit breaker to its “on” position. Restart the generator and continue
powering the remaining tools and equipment.
High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture may be too rich due to the lower air density.
In that case, performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will
