GEN4065 4000 Surge Watts/3250 Running Watts Portable Generator 15USING THE GENERATOR• USE THIS GENERATOR ONLY OUTDOORS IN NON-CONFINED AREAS. DO NOT SECURE THE GENERATOR WITH A CHAIN OR ROPE, ASTHIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE IN AN EMERGENCY.• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation for this generator.After the engine has been running for several minutes, electrical devices may be connected to this generator.AC UsageElectrical devices running on AC current may be connected according to their wattage requirements. The rated (running) and surge wattage for thisModel GEN4065 4000 Surge Watts / 3250 Running Watts Portable Generator is 3,250 and 4,000 respectively.Model GEN4065 Rated (Running) Wattage 3250Model GEN4065 Surge Wattage 4000The rated (running) wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage a generator can output on a continuous basis.The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power a generator can output for a short time. Many electrical devices, such as arefrigerator, require short bursts of extra power for starting and stopping fan motors, etc., in addition to their listed rated wattage. Motorized devicestypically require more than their rated wattage for startup. The surge wattage ability of a generator allows for this extra power requirement.The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to a generator should not exceed the rated wattage of the generator itself.To calculate the total wattage requirement of the electrical devices to be connected, look up the rated (running) wattage of each device and addthese numbers together to find the total wattage that all of the devices together will draw from the generator. If the total wattage of the selecteddevices exceeds the rated wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all of the devices. Select a combination of the electrical devices that will havea total wattage less than or equal to the rated wattage for the generator.This generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time. Connect electrical devices requiring a rated (running) wattageequal to or less than the rated wattage of this generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of agenerator.A device's rated (running) wattage should be listed somewhere on the device itself and/or in its manual. If the wattage specification for a device is notavailable, the wattage can be calculated by multiplying the Voltage requirement (120 or 240) by the Amperage drawn.Watts = Volts x AmperesOr, the wattage required by a device can be estimated by using the following chart. The chart provides only estimates and it is better to know theexact wattage of each electrical device to be powered by this generator.Electrical Device Rated (Running) Watts Additional Surge Wattsair compressor (1 - 1/2 HP) 2500 2500airless sprayer (1/3 HP) 600 1200coffee maker 1500 0computer w/17 inch monitor 800 0deep freezer 500 500electric drill (1/2 HP) 1000 1000furnace fan blower (1/2 HP) 800 1300hot plate 2500 0microwave oven (1000 watt) 1000 0quartz halogen work light 1000 0refrigerator/freezer (18 Cu.
