OPERATION

AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:

If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or
stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance,
and determine whether the problem is the appliance or the rated
load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.

Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
Maximum power is:

Substantial overloading will open the circuit protector. Exceeding the
time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the
generator may not switch the circuit protector OFF, but will shorten the
service life of the generator.

For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is:

The total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must
be considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list
rating information near the model number or serial number.

2.0 kVA

1.6 kVA

Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or
power cord can create a potential for electrical shock.

Make sure that the combined electrical rating of the tools or
appliances do not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the
maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between
rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
