Capacity

Follow these simple steps to calculate the

running and starting watts necessary for

your purposes.

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 running.

3. Identify the highest starting wattage of

all devices identified in step 1. Add this

number to the number calculated in step

2. Surge wattage is the extra burst of

power needed to start some electric

driven equipment. Following the steps

listed under “Power Management” will

guarantee that only one device will be

starting at a time.

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 attached.

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

item.

NOTE

Never exceed the generator capacity when

adding loads.

Wattage Reference Chart

Use the chart to determine approximate
