4. Allow the generator to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the generator to stabilize.
7. Repeat 5 and 6 for each additional item.
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
2. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s
rate voltage and amperage capacity (120V AC @ 7 AMPs, 12V DC @
8 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will
power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be
necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for
connection to a separate generator.
3. Once the generator is running, simply connect the power cords of
120V AC dual outlets and/or the power cord of a 12V DC tool to the
DC terminals.
4. DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
5. DO NOT connect 50Hz loads to the generator.
6. DO NOT overload the generator.
STARTING POWER CONSUMPTION
Electronic appliances and brushed motors generally will not draw more
than running watts at start up.
Induction motors in equipment like air conditioners, welders, water pumps
and compressors can draw 2 to 5 times their running power to start.
Please consult your equipment’s rating label, manual or the manufacturer
to confirm specific requirements.
If only the running wattage is given on the nameplate for a device with an
electric motor, the starting wattage can approximate to be three to five
