Warning: Only specialist electricians should connect the generator as a house power supply.
AC output
• Before starting the generator, ensure that the total power of the connected load will not exceed the rated power of the generator.
Note: • The connection of loads to the generator that exceed its rated power can cause the generator to shut down or significantly shorten its life.
• If several loads are to be connected to the generator set, always remember to first switch on the load with the highest starting current and finally
switch on the load with the lowest starting current.
