Operation
7. Load And Circuit Breaker: e total combined load through
the outlet on the generator must not exceed the rated
maximum power (2800 watts) of the unit. Always reduce
the load if the AC circuit breaker turns off. Once the load is
reduced, press the breaker to reset the generator and continue
operation.
8. Calculating Power Draw: Power draw can be calculated by
multiplying volts and amps. e resulting number is wattage.
Never exceed the rated maximum wattage (2800 watts) for
the generator. Refer to appliance/tool owner’s manuals to
determine the wattage of electrical load devices.
Note: Long power cords and extension cords draw additional
power. Keep cord length at a minimum.
9. AC Application: Allow the engine to run at no load until
warm (approx. 3 minutes) after each start-up to allow the
engine to stabilize.
10. Plug the power cords of the 120 volt appliance(s) into
the 120 volt AC outlets on the generator. Use caution to
distribute the load evenly over the outlets (see Figure 4).
Add devices according to the largest wattage useage first.
Do not allow the generator to completely run out of fuel with
devices attached. A generator’s output may sharply spike as it
runs out of fuel, causing damage to attached devices.
11. When finished using the appliance(s) unplug power cords
from the AC outlets on the generator before shutting the
generator off.
12. Generator Shut O: Remove all electrical load
devices from the generator. Allow the engine to run for
approximately 3 minutes with no electrical load.
13. Turn the generator’s power switch to OFF to stop the
engine.
14. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position (see Figure 5).
15. Allow the generator to completely cool down before storing,
at least 20 minutes.
16. For any lengthy time of storage, more than 20 days,
completely empty the fuel from the generator’s fuel tank and
engine’s fuel lines. Cover and store in a well ventilated area.
