Connect loads in the following manner to prevent
damage to equipment:
•
Connect inductive load equipment first, inductive
loads consist of refrigerators, freezers, water
pumps, air conditioners, or small hand tools.
Connect the items that require the most wattage
first.
•
Connect the lights next.
•
Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last
equipment connected to the generator. Plug
voltage sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's,
microwaves, ovens, computers, and cordless
telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protec-
tor, then connect the UL listed voltage surge
protector to the generator.
IMPORTANT: You should always add up the rated
watts of all lights, tools and appliances you are
powering at one time. This total should not
exceed the rated capacity of you generator or
circuit breaker rating of the receptacle supplying
power.
