Capacity
You must make sure your generator can supply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the itemsyou
wilt power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
I. Select the items you will 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 items running.SeeFigure 10.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will
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 same time, total
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

Power Management
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when addingelectrical loads to
your generator.There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting it's engine.The correct
and safeway to managegenerator power is to sequentially
add loads as follows:
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.
