3. Disconnect all electronic devices from the generators prior to starting them.
4. Start each generator's engine. Make sure the green output indicator light
comes on for each generator.
5. Wait for each engine to stabilize before plugging in the first electronic
device into the AC receptacle (starting with the largest wattage item). Turn
the device on and wait for the output to stabilize.
a. Many electric devices draw more power in the first couple of seconds
when starting, than is required during normal operation. The red indicator
light may glow. This is normal and will stop after a few seconds.
6. Continue to connect additional devices and wait for the engine to stabilize
each time.
GENERATOR OVERLOAD
Make sure you can supply enough rated watts for all electronic devices
connected to the generator. Rated watts refer to the power a generator must
supply to keep a device running. Peak watts refer to the power a generator must
supply to start an electronic device.
This power surge for starting a device usually lasts between 2-3 seconds, but
this additional output must be taken into account when selecting the electronic
devices you plan to attach to the generator. To prevent overloading the
generator take the following steps:
1. Add up the total rated wattage of all electronic devices that will be
connected to the generator simultaneously.
2. Estimate peak watts by adding the item(s) with the highest output (it is
unnecessary to calculate the peak output for all devices as they should be
connected one at a time).
3. Add the peak watts to the total rated watts in step 1. Keep total load within
generator's power capacity.
a. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or
stalls, turn off and disconnect appliance immediately. The appliance
may have a fault or its rated load capacity exceeds the power supply
of the generator.
