and safeway to managegenerator power is to sequentially

add loads asfollows:

I. With nothing connected to the generator, start the

engine asdescribed in this manual.

2. Plugin and turn on the first load,preferably the largest

load you have.

3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs

smoothly and attached device operates properly.

4. Plug in and turn on the next load.

5. Again,permit the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

NEVER add more loads than the generator capacity.Take

specialcare to consider surgeloads in generator capacity,
