2.4.3 NEUTRAL70 FRAMEGROUNDING
If service work is performed on the alternator, DO NOTdiscard
the white jumper wires from the terminal block to the alternator
ground, located on the rear bearing carrier. Always make sure
the wires are properly connected before using the generatorafter
alternatorservice work is done (Figure7).
Failure to reconnect these wires may create a
potential shock hazard when the generator is
running!

DONOTconnect 3 phaseloads to the generator.
DONOTconnect 50 Hzloadsto the generator.
* Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
* Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AC, single
phase,60 Hzelectrical loads.
Add up the ratedwatts (or amps) of all loadsto be connected
at one time. This total should no be greaterthan (a) the rated
wattage/amperage capacity of the generator or (b) circuit

2.5 DON'TOVERLOADTHEGENERATOR
Overloadinga generator in excess of its ratedwattage capacity
can result in damageto the generatorandto connectedelectrical
devices.Observethe following to preventoverloadingthe unit:
* Addupthe total wattageofall electricaldevicesto be connected
at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the
generator'swattage capacity.
* The ratedwattage of lights can betaken from light bulbs. The
rated wattage of tools, appliancesand motors can usually be
found on a data labelor decal affixedto the device.
* If the appliance,tool or motor does not give wattage,multiply
volts times ampererating to determinewatts (voltsx amps =
watts).
* Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about
threetimes more watts of power for starting than for running.
This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting
suchmotors. Makesureto allowfor high startingwattagewhen
selectingelectrical devicesto connectto the generator:
1. Figurethe watts neededto start the largestmotor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.
The WattageReferenceGuideis providedto assist in determining
how many items the generatorcan operateat onetime.
NOTE:
All figuresare approximate.See data label onappliancefor
wattagerequirements.
