ELECTRICAL
GENERATOR CAPACITY
Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous
(running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will
power at the same time. Follow these simple steps.
1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This
is the amount of power the generator must produce to
keep the items running. See the wattage reference
chart at right.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.
Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to
start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a
circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start
at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by
adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge
watts to the total rated watts from step 2.
NOTE: The total generator output required, which is the
sum of the continuous (running) and the surge (starting)
watts, are based on the standard environment ambient
air temperature (25 °C/298 K), ambient air pressure
(100 kPa), and relative humidity (30%). The continuous
(running) and surge (starting) watts will be different when
the environmental conditions change.

POWER MANAGEMENT
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to
the generator. There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting its engine. The correct and
safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add
loads as follows:
1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the
engine as described later in this manual.

2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest
load (highest wattage) you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilise (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilise.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
7. Never add more loads than the generator capacity.
Take special care to consider surge loads in generator
capacity as previously described.
CAUTION
Do not overload the generator's capacity. Exceeding the
generator's wattage/amperage capacity can damage the
generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

FEATURES
KNOW YOUR GENERATOR
See Figure 1
The safe use of the product requires an understanding of
the information on the tool and in this operator's manual
as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting.
Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety rules.
AC CIRCUIT BREAKER
The circuit breaker is provided to protect the generator
against electrical overload and can be used to turn the
generator's electrical power on or off.
