4.3 - Using the Generator Set
1. Turn off the switches of the device before connecting to the generator.
2. Start the generator according to section 4.3
3. Insert the plug of the device into the receptacle based on the voltage
requirement of the device.
4. Lift the Master Breaker switch to ON position and turn on the device.
To stop the engine in an emergency
turn the engine switch “OFF”.
In order to maintain generator’s performance:
•
Always connect the generator to the ground terminal to prevent
electrical shock.
•
Add the watt ratings of all the loads that the generator set will be
powering at the same time. Make sure that total wattage will not exceed
the generator rating.
EXAMPLE:
A generator set rated 5000W can power two 1500W heaters, a 900W circular saw,
a 500W drill and a 100W light at the same time (4500W combined). However, to
operate a second 900W saw, it will be necessary to disconnect one of the 1500 W
heaters.
4.4 Stopping the Generator Set
1. Turn off all the connected devices.
2. Allow the generator set run for a few minutes to cool down.
3. Stop the generator set by pressing and holding the engine switch in the
OFF position until the generator set stops.
4. Rotate the fuel valve lever back to the OFF position (horizontal position).
