Connect only electrical devices that are in good working order. Faulty devices or power cords present the risk of electrical shock.
Immediately turn off and disconnect any device that commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or abruptly stops. Determine if the
problem was the device or the rated load capacity of this generator has been exceeded.
NOTE: Plug appliances into the correct outlet. Connect standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz loads to the 120 Volt outlet. Connect 12 Volt, DC
loads to the 12 Volt outlet.
Even though this generator has an overall rated wattage of 2000, do not attempt to draw more than 1500 Watts from the 120 Volt outlet.
Draws higher than 1500 Watts will damage this generator and void the warranty.
NOTE: While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlet or the 12 Volt DC outlet. Both 120 Volts and 12
Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.
Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device with
the next lower rated wattage requirement.
Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to this generator.
