WATTAGE INFORMATION
Some appliances need a “surge” of energy when starting.
This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to
maintain its use.
Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles / Hz, amperage (amps) and
electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.
Check with your nearest SUBARU Industrial Power Products dealer or service center with questions regarding power
surge of certain appliances or power tools.
VOLTAGE DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a certain amount of voltage
drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective voltage available for the appliance or tool.
Use the shortest extension cord possible.

Once enough “surge” is attained to start the motor, the applian
ce will require only 50% to 30% of the wattage to
continue running.

normal running wattage in order to start.
For example, a 5,000 watt generator would only be able to driv
e
a 1,000 to 1,700 watt pump.
NOTE:
The following wattage chart is general guide only. Refer to your speci
fi
c appliance for correct wattage.
To determine the total wattage required to run a particular electrical appliance or tool, multiply the voltage
fi
gure of the
appliance/tool by the amperage (amps)
fi
gure of same. The voltage and amperage (amps) information can be found on a
name plate which normally attached to electrical appliances and tools.
