Moving the Generator
Disconnect any electronic devices from generator then turn generator off.
Turn fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
Tilt generator until it balances on wheels. Roll machine to desired location.
If the generator must be carried, fold handle to the down position. Never lift or carry generator by its handle.

1. Add up the total rated wattage of all electronic devices that will be connected to the generator simultaneously.
2. Estimate surge watts by adding the item(s) with the highest output (it is unnecessary to calculate the surge output for all
devices as they should be connected one at a time).
3. Add the Surge Watts to the total Rated Watts in step 1. Keep total load within generator’s power capacity.
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this
generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 Hz
frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To reduce the risk of damage, always have an additional load
plugged into the generator if solid state equipment (such as television set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended
for some solid state applications.

Power Management
Start engine without anything connected to generator.
When engine has stabilized, plug in and turn on first load. It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the largest
output first and the smallest output last to help prevent overloading the generator.
Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.
