Make sure that appliances are in good working order.Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential forelectrical shock. If an appliance begins to operate abnor-mally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off imme-diately.2. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the prob-lem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the gen-erator has been exceeded.3. Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliancedoes not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed themaximum power rating of the generator. Power levels be-tween rated and maximum may be used for no more than30 minutes.Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Ex-ceeding the time limit for maximum power operation orslightly overloading the generator may not switch thecircuit breaker or circuit protector OFF, but will shorten theservice life of the generator.Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes. Forcontinuous operation (longer than 30 minutes), do not exceed80% of the rated power balanced equally on the A&B sides ofthe Alternator.The total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connectedmust be considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturersusually list rating information near the model number or serialnumber.Changing the speed of the generator by adjusting the governor can cause damage to the gen-erator, devices attached to the generator, and may result in bodily injury. Do not adjust ortamper with the engine speed setting.Product SpecificationsDANGERWARNING |
