GENERATOR CAPACmTY

Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can

result in serious damage to your generator and

connected electrical devices. You should observe the

following to prevent overloading the unit:

Starting and running wattage requirements should

always be calculated when matching a generators

wattage capacity to the appliance or tool.

There are two types of electrical appliances that

can be powered by your generator:

A. Items such as radios, light bulbs, television

sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load".

Starting wattage and running wattage are the

same.

B. Items such as refrigerators, air compressors,

washer, dryer, and hand tools that use an

electrical motor have an "inductive load".

Inductive load appliances and tools require

approximately 2 to 4 times the listed wattage

for starting the equipment. This initial load

only lasts for a few seconds on start-up but is

very important when figuring your total

wattage to be used.

NOTE: Some inductive appliances and tools wiii list

on the motor name plate, the starting and running

voltage and amperage requirements. Use the follow-

ing formula to convert voltage and amperage to

wattage: (Volts X Amp = Watts}

* Always start your largest electric motor first, and

then plug in other items, one at a time.

The guide is provided to assist you in determining the

appliances and tools that can be ran with the wattage

capacity of your generator.

OBTAiNiNG ELECTRiCiTY FROM

GENERATOR

There are basically two ways to obtain electricity from

a generator:

o Use of extension cords directly from the genera-

tor to the appliance, lights, tools, etc.

Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed

directly to the main electrical supply outside of

the house.

Extension Cord

When using an appliance or tool at a considerable

distance from the generator, a 3-wire extension cord

that has a 3-blade grounding plug and 8-dot recep-

tacle that accepts the tool's plug MUST be used in

order to reduce the risk of electrical shock. A cord of

adequate size must be used. A minimum of 12 gauge

wire size with at least a 20 amp draw can be used.

When amperage exceeds 20 amps a 10 gauge wire

size should be used.

An extension cord that is hot

to the touch is overmoaded.

Repair or replace damaged extension cords

Connecting Generator To Main Electrical

Supply

Potential hazards exist when a electrical generator is

connected to the main electrical supply coming into

the house, It is at that point that the generator could

feed back into the utility company's system causing

possible electrocution of workers who are repairing

electrical lines, To avoid back feeding of electricity into

utility systems, a double=throw transfer switch

should be installed between the generator and utility

power, This device should be installed by a licensed

electrician and in compliance with all local electrical

codes,

NOTE: When installing a Double-Throw Transfer

Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.

where fuel fumes may reach an open flame.

CONNECTmNG ELEOTRmCAL LOADS

Let engine run and warm up for five minutes after

starting with no electrical load.

Connect loads in the following manner to prevent

damage to equipment:

Connect inductive load equipment first, inductive

loads consist of refrigerators, freezers, water

pumps, air conditioners, or small hand tools.

Connect the items that require the most wattage

first.

Connect the lights next.

Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last

equipment connected to the generator. Plug

voltage sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's,

microwaves, ovens, computers, and cordless

telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protec-

tor, then connect the UL listed voltage surge

protector to the generator.

IMPORTANT: You should always add up the rated

watts of all lights, tools and appliances you are

powering at one time. This total should not

exceed the rated capacity of you generator or

CARBURETOR

The carburetor of your generator is pre-set at the fac-

tory. The carburetor shouid not be tampered with. If your

generator is used at an aititude in excess of 4000 feet

performance may be affected. If so consult with your

If you are going to store your generator for more than

30 days, use the following information as a guide to

prepare the generator for storage.

Engine Preparation

* Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the

formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

Run engine at bast 10 minutes after adding

stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel system.

Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the

spark plug.

Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug

hob.

Place rag over spark plug hob and pull the recoil a

few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.

Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the

spark plug wire.

NOTE-" If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must

be drained from the tank and carburetor to prevent gum

deposits from forming on these parts and causing pos-

sible malfunction of the engine.
