CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS AND
ELECTRICAL CAPACITY
After starting the generator, let the engine warm
up after connecting electrical loads to it. Do not
have any electrical loads connected before
starting the generator.
Make sure all electrical devices are 60 Hz
devices.
Do not connect 50 Hz devices to the generator.
Do not connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
Do not overload the generator.
Before beginning your work, you must verify
that the rated (running) and surge (starting)
watts for the items you will power at the same
time are within the generators operating
capacity. Please refer to the following Table 1
for wattage / amperage ratings. Also, to prolong
the life of your generator, prolong the life of your
generator, sequentially add loads and permit
the generator to stabilize before adding another

load. Never exceed the capacity of the
generator.
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.
