A pp lic a t ions
Before
connecting an appliance or power cord to the g en erato r:
· Make s ure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a pot en t ial
for electrical sh o c k.
· I f an appliance beg in s to operate abnormally,becomes s lu gg is h or s t o ps s u dd en ly, turn it o ff
immediately. D is c o nn ect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if t h e
rated load capacity of the g en erato r has been ex c eeded .
·Make s ure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the g en erato r.
Never exceed the maximum p owe r rating of the generator. Power levels between rated an d
maximum may be u s ed for no more than 30 m in u t es.
NOTICE
Substantial
overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum po wer
operation or s li g h t ly overloading the g en erato r may not s wit c h the circuit breaker OFF, but will s h o rt en

ENGINE OIL
NOTICE
Engine oil
is a major fac t o r affecting engineperformance and s erv ice life. Non-detergent and 2- s t roke
engine oils will damage the engine and are not reco mmen ded .
Check the oil level BEFORE E AC H USE with the g en erato r on a level
s u rface and the engine s t opped.
