LOADING YOUR GENERATOR SET
With reference to the Receptacle details section, please
review the power receptacles fitted to your generator. The
circuit breaker rating and the generator rating drive the
actual load that may be pulled from each receptacle. The
ratings shown in the table are the maximum available from
each receptacle. DO NOT EXCEED THE INDIVIDUAL
RECEPTACLE RATINGS AS SHOWN IN THE TABLE
BELOW. DO NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL GENERATOR
RATING
SHOWN
IN
SPECIFICATIONS. All generator units are equipped with
a thermal-magnetic main circuit breaker as well as a
"PUSH TO RESET" breaker on branch circuits.

Generator ratings assume 60°F (20C) and Sea
Level. Operation of your generator at temperatures
above 60°F (20C) or above Sea Level will result in
lower electrical output. Electrical output must be
derated 1% for each 10°F above 60°F and 3 ½ %
for each 1000 feet above mean sea level.
