• To prevent surging that may possibly damage
equipment do not allow engine to run out of
fuel when electrical loads are applied.
• When powering solid state equipment, a
Power Line conditioner should be used to pre-
vent possible damage to the equipment.
• Do not stick anything through ventilating
slots, even when the generator is not operat-
ing. This can damage the generator or cause
personal injury.
• Before transporting the generator in a vehi-
cle, drain all fuel to prevent leakage that may
occur.
• To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler
or other engine or generator surfaces which
became hot during operation.
• Do not alter or modify the heat shield.
DEFINING TOTAL WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and possible
damage to your generator it is necessary to
know total wattage of the connected load.
To determine which load and or appliances
your generator will run follow these steps;
Check wattage requirements by referring to
the loads nameplate or by calculating it (multi-
ply amps x volts = watts).
You can get help for calculation using the
Table 1 Total the watts for each item. If the
nameplate only give volts and amps, multiply
volts x amps = watts. 1 kW = 1,000 watts.
Motorized appliances or tools require more
than their rated wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2 ½ to 4 times the listed wattage
for starting equipment powered by electric
motors. The generator's rated watts should
match or exceed the total number of watts
required for the equipment you want to run.
The altitude and temperature can modify the
generator's ratings. Use the Table 2 to calcu-
late the generator's rating, multiply the factor
x rated output in the generator's specs when
the condition is not at 21ºC at the sea level.
Always connect first to the generator the
heaviest load, and then add other items one
at a time.
CAUTION: Operating voltage and fre-
quency requirements of all electronic equip-
ment should be checked prior plugging them
into this generator. Damage may result if the
equipment is not designed to operate within
+/- 10% of voltage and +/- 3 Hz of the rated
12
values marked in the generator´s nameplate.
To avoid damage, always have an additional
no solid state load plugged into the generator
if only solid state equipment (such as a televi-
sion set) is used.
A power line conditioner is recommended for
some solid state applications.
