6. GENERATOR USE

ra!m

To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the

generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between

the ground terminal and the ground source.

CAUTION:

Limit operation requiring maximum power (3.5KVA) to 30 minutes. For

continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power of 3.0 KVA.

In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be

considered.

Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.

Connection for emergency power to household circuits must be made

by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and

electrical codes. Improper installation may result in personal injury or

damage to equipment or property.

Auto-throttle system

With the switch in the AUTO position, engine speed is automatically reduc-

ed to an idle when all loads are turned off or disconnected. When ap-

pliances are turned on or reconnected, the engine resumes the rated speed.

At OFF, the auto-throttle system does not operate.

NOTE:

AUTO is recommended to minimize fuel consumption.

The auto-throttle system will not respond to electrical loads of less than

1 ampere.

The system is not effective for use with appliance that requires only

momentary power. To avoid extended warm-up periods, keep the

switch OFF until the engine reaches operating temperature.
