Capacity
You must make sure your generator can supp y enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) vfiitts for the items you
will power at the same time, Fo low these simple steps:
1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the rated (running) vratts of these items.This is
the amount of power your ;^nerator must produce to
keep your itoms running. See Figure 13.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will
need. Surge vrattage is the short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or
appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator.
Because not all motors start at the same time, tx>tal
surge watts can be estimated by adding only the
item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the
total rated watts from step 2.
Example;
Tool or Appliance
Window Air
Conditioner
Refrigerator
Deep Freeaor
Television:
Light (75: Watts):
Toul Rated (Running) Watts = 3075
Highest Additional Surge Watts =1800
Total Generator Output Required = 4875

To prolong the ife of your generator and attached devices,
it is important to take caro when adding electrical loads to
your generator.Thero shou d be nothing connected to the
generator outlets beforo starting it s engine.The correct
and safe vray to manage generator power is to sequentially
add loads as follows:
1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the
engine as described in this manua.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferab y the largest
load you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly.
