Sears 580.32601 - Manual (Page 19)

A 4-prong, 20 amp connector plug for this outlet is shipped with the alternator {see PARTS SHIP­
PED WITH ALTERNATOR, Page 5). The plug must be connected to a suitable cord set {see Page
11 ).
USING THE 240 VOLT, 20 AMP OUTLET
The outlet has a 20 amp capacity and can han­
dle the full 4500 watt capacity of the alter­
nator. To plug the connector plug into the
outlet, align the 4 prongs and insert plug.
Then twist the plug clockwise to lock.
DON’T OVERLOAD THE ALTERNATOR
Alternator wattage capacity is 4500 watts, with a surge capacity of 5600 watts. The 4500 watt
capacity of the unit should not be exceeded, except for momentary periods. Add up the wattage
ratings of all equipment to be powered by the alternator at one time. This total should not ex­
ceed 4500 watts.
IMPORTANT
Alternator stator windings are protected by a temperature sensitive device. Any prolonged
overloading of the unit will result in high Internal temperatures, which will cause this
device to “trip”. NO A-C POWER WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM ALTERNATOR OUTLETS UN­
TIL INTERNAL TEMPERATURES HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL. If a loss of electrical output
occurs, immediately unplug, turn OFF, or disconnect electrical loads. Let unit cool for
several minutes, then reconnect loads NOT TO EXCEED 4500 watts.
MOTOR STARTING REQUIREMENTS
Some electric motors requires more watts of power for starting than for continuous on-speed
operation. To find approximate starting and running watts for these motors, locate the TYPE OF
MOTOR and its HORSEPOWER on the motor nameplate. Then find starting and running watts in
