SPARK ARRESTER
SPARK ARRESTER
YOUR PRODUCT MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED WITH
A SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER. If the product will be
used around flammable materials, such as agricultural crops,
forests, brush, grass, or other similar items, then an approved
spark arrester should be installed and is legally required in the
State of California. The California statutes requiring a spark
arrester are Sections 13005(b), 4442 and 4443. Spark
Arresters are also required on some U.S. Forest Service land
and may also be legally required under other statutes and
ordinances. An approved spark arrester is available from our
product dealers, or may be ordered from Powermate, LLC,
1300 Gresham Road, Marietta, GA 30062. 1-800-445-1805.
DETERMINING TOTAL WATTAGE
DETERMINING TOTAL WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to
your generator it is necessary to know the total wattage of the
connected load. To determine which tools and/or appliances
your generator will run follow these steps:
1. Determine if you want to run one item or multiple items
simultaneously.
2.
Check wattage requirements for the items you will be
running by referring to the load's nameplate or by
calculating it (multiply amps x volts = watts).
3.
Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only gives
volts and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts.
1 KW = 1,000 watts.
4.
Motorized appliances or tools require more than their
rated wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2 1/2 to 4 times the listed wattage for
starting equipment powered by electric motors.
5.
The generator's rated watts should match or exceed the
total number of watts required for the equipment you
want to run.
6.
Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first,
then add other items one at a time.
