SECTION 4:
Electrical Connection
4.1 Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running
and starting watts necessary for your purposes.
See Section 4.6 for Wattage Reference Guide.
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running
at the same time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the
amount of power you need to keep your items run-
ning.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devi-
ces identified in step 1.
a. Add this number to the number calculated in
step 2.
b. Surge wattage is the extra burst of power
needed to start some electric driven equipment.
Following the steps listed under "Power Manage-
ment" will guarantee that only one device will be
starting at a time.
4.2 Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and
amperage to watts : Volts x Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached
devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load atta-
ched .
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to
stabilize.

3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to
attach the item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional
4.3 Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up a few
minutes after starting.
2. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make
sure the generator's rated voltage, and amperage
capacity ( 12ov AC @ 7 AMPs , 12V DC @ 8 AMPs)
is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the
unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator's
capacity , it may be necessary to group one or
more of the tools and/or equipment for connection
to a separate generator.
3. Once the generator is running, simply connect
the power cords of 120 volt AC powered tools and
equipment into the 120 volt AC dual outlets and/or
the power cord of a 12V DC powered tool to the
DC terminals.
4. DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the genera-
tor.
5. DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
6. DO NOT overload the generator.
Note: The DC terminals may be used for charging
12 volt automotive type batteries only.
