Capacity

You must make sure your generator can supply enough

rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you

will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:

I. Select the items you will power at the same time.

2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.This is

the amount of power your generator must produce to

keep your items running. See Figure 6.

3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will

need. Surge wattage isthe short burst of power

needed to start electric motor-drlven tools or

appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator.

Because not all motors start at the same time, total

surge watts can be estimated by adding only the

item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the

total rated watts from step 2.

Power Management

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices,

it is important to take carewhen addingelectrical loads to

your generator.There should be nothing connected to the

generator outlets before starting it'sengine.The correct

and safeway to managegenerator power isto sequentially

add loads asfollows:

I. With nothing connected to the generator, start the

engine asdescribed in this manual.

2. Plugin and turn on the first load,preferably the largest

load you have.

3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs

smoothly and attached device operates properly.

4. Plug in and turn on the next load.

5. Again,permit the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

NEVER add more loads than the generator capacity.Take

special care to consider surge loads ingenerator capacity,

asdescribed above.

Water can enter engine fuel systemand causeproblems. In

addition, ifwater enters generator through cooling air slots,

some of the water will be retained in voids and cracks of

the rotor and stator winding insulation.Waterand dirt

buildup on the generator internalwindings will eventually

decreasethe insulationresistance of these windings.

WARNING

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place

the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
