Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in over- heating of attachments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the en- gine to obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user. You MUST unplug any load from the generator before starting to prevent permanent damage to any appliances. TO START THE ENGINE Never

WATTAGE CALCULATIONS IMPORTANT Never exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Serious damage to the generator or appliance could result from an overload. 1. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the appliance or tool. 2. There are two types of electrical appliances that can be powered by your generator: A. Items such as radios, light bulbs, television sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load". Starting wattage

STARTING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS 1. Some appliances and tools will list on the motor nameplate the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage: Volts X Amp = Watts Example: 120 volts x 10 amps = 1200 watts 2. To determine the approximate starting wattage requirement for most appliances and tools with inductive type motors, multiply the wattage that was calculated by 2 to 4 times to assure adequate generator capacity.
