Capacity
You must make sure your generator cansupply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the itemsyou
will power at the sametime. Follow these simple steps:
I. Select the itemsyou wilt power at the same time.
2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.Thisis
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keep your itemsrunning. SeeFigure 7.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you wilt
need.Surge wattage isthe short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or
appliancessuch asa circular saw or refrigerator.
Becausenot all motors start at the sametime, total
surge watts can be estimated by addingonly the
item(s)with the highest additional surge watts to the
total rated watts from step 2.

generator outlets before starting it'sengine.The correct
and safeway to managegenerator power isto sequentially
add loads asfollows:
I. With nothingconnected to the generator, start the
engine asdescribed in this manual.
2. Plugin and turn on the first load,preferably the largest
load you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly.
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again,permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
NEVER add more loads than the generator capacity.Take

contact with usedmotor oil. Used motor oil has
been shown to cause skin cancer in certain
laboratory animals.Thoroughly wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
KEEPOUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T
POLLUTE.CONSERVERESOURCES.RETURN
USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.
Generator Maintenance
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean
and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry
environment where it will not be exposed to excessive
dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air
slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow,
leaves or any other foreign material.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator.
Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots,
some of the water will be retained in voids and cracks of
the rotor and stator winding insulation.Water and dirt
buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually
decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
Generator Cleaning
_k AUTION! NEVER insert any object or tool
through the air cooling slots, even if the engine is
not running.
•Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosencaked on dirt or oil.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
• Use low pressureair (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow
awaydirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on
generator.These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
STO RAG E
The generator should be started at least once every seven
days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot
be done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days,
use the following guidelines to prepare it for storage.
Generator Storage
• Clean the generator asoutlined in "Generator Cleaning".
• Check that cooling air slots and openingson generator
are open and unobstructed.
_k AUTION! Storage covers can be flammable.
DO NOT placea storage cover over ahot
generator. Let the unit coot for a sufficient time
before placingthe cover on the unit.
Engine Storage
See engine owner's manualfor instructions.
Other Storage Tips
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
essentialcarburetor parts, addfuel stabilizer into fuel
tank and fill with fresh fuel. Runthe unit for several
minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.
The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to
24 months. Fuelstabilizer can be purchased locally.
• DO NOT store fuel from one seasonto another unless
it hasbeen treated as described above.
• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
• Store in clean and dry area.
