DON'T OVERLOAD
You must make sure your generator can suppHy enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you
wHHpower at the same time. FoHHowthese simpHe steps:
H. SeHectthe items you wHHpower at the same time.
2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.This is
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keep your items running. See Figure H 5.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you wiHH
nee& Surge wattage is the short burst of power
needed to start eHectric motorodriven tools or
appHiances such as a circuHar saw or refrigerator.
Because not aHH motors start at the same time_ torah
surge watts can be estimated by adding onHy the
item(s) with the highest additionaH surge watts to the
totaH rated watts from step 2.

Management
To prolong the life of your generator
and attached devices,
it is important to take care when adding eHectricaH Hoads to
your generatonThere shouHd be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting it's engine.The correct
and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentiaHHy
add Hoads as follows:
I. With nothing connected to the generator, start the
engine as described in this manuaH.
2. PHugin and turn on the first Hoa& preferably the Hargest
Hoad you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothHy and attached device operates properly.
4. PHugin and turn on the next Hoad.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additionaH Hoad.
NEVER add more Hoads than the generator capacity.Take
speciaH care to consider surge Hoads in generator capacity,
as described above.
