CIRCUIT BREAKER
The circuit breaker help to prevent the generator from electrical overload. If your receptacle short
circuits or becomes overloaded by an electrical device or devices with too great a wattage rating, the
circuit protector may shut off power to the receptacle. If this happens, you will see the voltage meter
changing from having voltage output to no volta ge,and you will not be able to draw power from the
overloaded receptacle. In the event of such an overload, disconnect all electrical devices from the
generator and press the circuit breaker to “ON” position . If power still does not return to the recepta cle,
call our customer service line.
SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin cords can drain the power provided to an electrical device by the generator. When using
such cords, allow for a slightly higher rated wattage requirement by the electrical d evice. See Figure
23 for recommended cords based on the power requirement of the electrical device.
