OPERATION
3. Turn on the appliance.
If the generator is overloaded (see page 46), or if there is a short circuit in a
connected appliance, the overload alarm indicator (red) will go ON. The
overload alarm indicator (red) will stay ON, and after about 10 seconds when an
overload or about 5 seconds in case of a short circuit, current to the connected
appliance(s) will shut off, and the output indicator (green) will go OFF. Stop the
engine and investigate the problem.
Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a connected appliance or an overload.
Correct the problem and restart the generator.
AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord
can create a potential for electrical shock.
• 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.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for startup.
Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed the
maximum power rating of the generator.
Maximum power is:
3.2 kVA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is:
2.6 kVA
In either case, 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.
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload alarm indicator (red)
may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the
overload alarm indicator (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
