Know how to shut it off quickly. • Equip area of operation with a fire extinguisher certified to handle gasoline or fuel fires. • Keep children or others away from the generator at all times. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. RISK OF HOT SURFACES Contact with hot engine and generator components. HAZARD Contact with hot surfaces, such as engines exhaust components, could result in serious burns. WHAT COULD HAPPEN During operation, touch only the control surfaces of the generator. Keep children away from the generator at all times. They may not be able to recognize the hazards of this product. HOW TO PREVENT IT RISK OF MOVING PARTS HAZARD WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT Contact with moving parts can result in serious injury. The generator contains parts which rotate at high speed during operation. These parts are covered by guarding to prevent injury. Never operate generator with guarding or cover plates removed. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing or jewerly which could be caught by moving parts. RISK FROM LIFTING HAZARD WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT Lifting a very heavy object. Serious injury can result from attempting to lift too heavy an object. The generator is too heavy to be lifted by one person. Obtain assistance from others before you try to move it. WATTAGE CALCULATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT Never exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Serious damage to the generator or appliance could result from an overload. 1. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the appliance or tool. 2. There are two types of electrical applicances that can be powered by your generator: A. Items such as radios, light bulbs, television sets,and mircowaves have a "resistive load". Starting wattage and running wattage are the same. B. Items such as refrigerators, air compressors, washer, dryer, and hand tools that use an electrical motor have an "inductive load". Inductive load appliances and tools require approximately 2 to 4 times the listed wattage for starting the equipment. This initial load only last for a few seconds on start-up but is very important when figuring your total wattage to be used. C. Always start your largest electric motor first, and then plug in other items, one at a time. DETERMINING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS Before operating this generator list all of the applicances and/or tools that are going to operate at the same time. Then determine the starting wattage requirements and the running wattage requirements as follows: 1. First total the running wattage of all applicances and/or tools that will be operated at the same time. Running Watts Starting Watts Example 1: Lights = 100 Watts 0 Television = 300 Watts 0 Slow Cooker = 250 Watts 0 TOTAL = 650 Watts 0 2. Next the starting wattages of any appliances and/or tools that will start and stop during operation. Running Watts Starting Watts Example 2: Small Refrigerator 500 Watts 2000 Watts TOTAL = 500 Watts 2000 Watts 3. The running wattage of examples 1 & 2 totals 1150 watts. The starting wattage of the small refrigerator is 2000 watts which is 1500 watts more than the running watts. Take this difference of 1500 starting watts from the refrigerator and add to the total running watts of 1150. Example 3: 1500 Starting Watts 1150 Running Watts TOTAL = 2650 Total Watts Generator must have a maximum capacity of at least 2650 watts. WATTAGE CALCULATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd) STARTING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS 1. Some appliances and tools will list on the motor name plate the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage: Volts X Amp = Watts Example 1: (Starting voltage and amperage for 1/3 HP furnace fan) 120 volts x 10 amps = 1200 watts 2. To determine the approximate starting wattage requirement for most appliances and tools with inductive type motors, multiply the wattage that was calculated by 2 to 4 times to assure adequate generator capacity. If the nameplate information is not available use the values on the following chart as a guide. 3. Remember that the starting and running wattage for resistive loads are the same. (Example: a 100 watt light bulb requires only 100 watts to start.) Most resistive loads will be listed in wattage. GENERAL PARTS IDENTIFICATION GENERAL PARTS IDENTIFICATION 1.
