Capacity
You must make sureyour generator cansupply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you
will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
1. Selectthe itemsyou will power at the same time.
2. Totalthe rated(running) watts ofthese items. This is the
amount of poweryour generatormust produceto keep
your items running. SeeWattageReferenceGuide.
3. Estimatehow many surge (starting) watts you will need.
Surge wattageis the short burst of power neededto
start electric motor-driven tools or appliancessuch asa
circular saw or refrigerator. Becausenot all motors start
atthe sametime, total surgewatts can be estimatedby
adding only the item(s) with the highest additionalsurge
watts to thetotal ratedwatts from step 2.

Power Management
To prolong the life of your generatorand attacheddevices, it
is important to take carewhen adding electrical loadsto your
generator. Thereshould be nothing connectedto the
generator outlets before starting its engine.Thecorrect and
safe way to managegeneratorpower isto sequentiallyadd
loads asfollows:
1. With nothing connectedto the generator,start the
engine asdescribed inthis manual.
2. Plug in andturn on the first load, preferablythe largest
load you have.
3. Permit the generatoroutput to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attacheddeviceoperates properly).
4. Plug in andturn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generatorto stabilize.
6. Repeatsteps 4 and 5 for eachadditional load.
NEVERadd more loads than the generatorcapacity.Take
special careto consider surge loads in generator capacity,as
described above.
