CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS
1. Let engine run and warm up for five minutes after starting with no electrical
load.
Connect loads in the following manner to prevent damage to equipment:
2. 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. See Wattage Calcu-
lation Section in this manual.
3. Connect the lights next.
4. Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last equipment connected to the
generator. Plug voltage sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's, micro-
waves, ovens, computers, and cordless telephones into a UL listed voltage
surge protector, then connect the UL listed voltage surge protector to the
generator.
Failure to connect and operate equipment in this sequence
can cause damage to equipment and will void the warranty
on your generator.
Follow the wattage calculation table in the Wattage Calculation section of
this manual. Overloading the generator will cause power fluctuations and
can damage equipment and appliances.
Porter-Cable Corporation will only be responsible for damage to
customer's equipment when the generator is determined to be defective.
This determination will only be made by an authorized representative of
Porter-Cable Corporation and this decision will be final. Porter-Cable
Corporation reserves the right to inspect the electrical connections at the
customer's site of operation and test the generator for proper operation
before any determination of liability is made. Failure to maintain the
equipment or wiring for inspection will void any claim for damages by the
customer. Porter-Cable Corporation will not be responsible for equipment
damaged as a result of voltage surges, improper operation or improper
installation of the generator.
