the most common types of loads you can power with
the OUTBACK™ 185 (AU) Be sure to read the notes
at the bottom of the table.
TO USE THE OUTBACK™ 185 (AU) AS AN
AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY:

power receptacle.
NOTE: During welding, the maximum generator output for auxiliary
loads is 100 watts.
NOTE: You can supply multiple loads as long as the total load does
not exceed 5700 Peak watts or 5200 continuous watts. Be
sure to start the largest loads first.
