OPERATION
AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or
power cord
can create
a potential for electrical shock.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or
stops sud
d
enly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance,
and determine whether the problem is the appliance or the rated load
capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for
startup.
Mak
e sure the electrical rating of the to
ol or appliance does not exceed
the maximum power rating of the generator.
Maximum power is:
3.0 kVA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is:
2.6 kVA
In either case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances
connected must be considere
d. Appliance and power tool
manufacturers usually list rating information near the model number or
serial number.
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Slightly
overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but
will shorten the service life of the generator.
