4.3 USING YOUR APPLIANCES

After starting your generator, you can connect your devices to it. Before starting make
sure you know what you can power with your generator.
Here's how you can decide:
Add the watt ratings of all loads the generator will be powering at the same time.
Make sure the total wattage will not exceed the generator's 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
an extra 900W saw, it will be necessary to disconnect one of the 1500 W heaters.
Note
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to STOP.
Always connect the generator to the ground terminal to prevent
electrical shock.
