n The total wattage of all appliances connected must be considered.
n Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
n Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause the
damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the house.
n Do not modify or use the generator for other purpose than it is intended for.
n Do not connect an extension to exhaust pipe.
n When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a rubber sheathed flexible
cable (IEC 245 or equivalent).
n Limit length of extension cables to 195 feet (60 meters) for cables of 1.5mm² and
325 feet (100 meters) for cables of 2.5mm². Long extension cables will reduce
useable power due to resistance in the extension cable.
n Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as commercial
power supply lines.
n The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If both are being
used at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC.
n Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start-up.
AC application
1. Start the engine and make sure only the output indicator light (green) comes on.
2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off, and plug in the appliance.

n Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator light (red)
may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the
overload indicator light (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
n Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to
the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish,
or stops suddenly, turn off the generator engine switch immediately. Disconnect
the appliance and examine it for signs of malfunction.
Output and Overload Indicators
The output indicator light (green) will remain on during normal operating conditions.
If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short in the connected appliance,
the output indicator light (green) will go out, the overload indicator light (red) will
illuminate and current to the connected appliance will be shut off.
Stop the engine if the overload indicator light (red) comes on and investigate the
overload source
n Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order
and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. Connect the
power cord of the appliance and start the engine. See page 22 for restoring
electrical power.
