Afterstartingthegenerator,lettheengine
warmupafterconnectingelectricalloadstoit.
Donothaveanyelectricalloadsconnected
beforestartingthegenerator.
Makesureallelectricaldevicesare60Hz

Donotconnect50Hzdevicestothegenerator.
Donotconnect3‐phaseloadstothegenerator.
Donotoverloadthegenerator.
Beforebeginningyourwork,youmustverify
thattherated(running)andsurge(starting)
wattsfortheitemsyouwillpoweratthesame
timearewithinthegeneratorsoperating
capacity.PleaserefertothefollowingTable1
forwattage/amperageratings.Also,toprolong
thelifeofyourgenerator,prolongthelifeof
yourgenerator,sequentiallyaddloadsand
permitthegeneratortostabilizebeforeadding
anotherload.Neverexceedthecapacityofthe

devicespluggedinorturnedon.




2.Letthegeneratorrunatno‐loadforseveral
