OPERATION
STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Unplug all electrical loads from generafrir panel recep­
tacles. Never start or stop engine with electrical de­
wees plugged in and turned on.
•......Let engine run at no-load for several minutas to stabi­
.. lize the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
•, [
Move stop lever to‘OFF" position.
DONT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
This generator is equipped witii one 20-amp circuit
breaker. The duplex receptacle is protected against elec­
trical overload with the 20-amp breaker. Overloading a
generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can result
in damage to the generator and to connected electrical
devices. Observe the following, to prevent overloading the
unit:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be
connected at one time. This total should NOT be
greater than the generator's wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data plate or decal
affixed to the device.
if the appliance, tool or motor does not give wsitage,
multiply 120 volts times ampere rating to deter' e
watts (volts X amps =watts).
Some electric motors, such as induction types, re^. .
about two and a half times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This surge of power lasts only
a fewseconds when starting such motors. Make sure
you allow for this high starting wattage when selecting
elecvicai devices to connect to your generator. First
figure tile watts needed to start the largest thotor. Add
to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.
The GUIDE below is provided to assist you in deter­
mining how many items your generator can operate at
one time.
