Your Craftsman generator has a full power switch on the
controi panel
This switch has two positions: 120 VOLT
ONLY, and 120/240 VOLT.
120 Position
When placed in the 120 position,
(Shown below) every re-
ceptacb on the panel will be converted to a 120 volt recep-
tacb.
240-volt power is not available. This position allows
full capacity of the generator to be received
by using all
120-volt receptacles.
While in the 120 position, each re-
ceptacb has the ability to reach the maximum 4650 surge
wattage for inductive motors that require 4650 watts or be-
low to start.

1201240 Position
When in the 120/240 position, (Shown Below) only half of
the 3750 watts carl be received when using the 120-volt
receptacles and the 120/240-volt twistlock receptacle will
be converted to allow the full 3750 watts to be received
from this one receptacle. Also in this position, the 120-volt
receptacles will only reach a maximum of 4650 surge watts.

GENERATOR
CAPACWY
Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator carl
result in serious damage to your generator and connected
electrical devices. You should observe the following to
prevent overloading the unit:
Starting and running wattage requirements must be
calculated to match your generator wattage capacity.
Resistive
load appliances
such as light bulbs, TV's
and microwaves,
have the same starting
and running
wattage.
The wattage
used for calculating
the capacity
can usually be found
on each of these appliances.
Some inductive
appliances
and tools wiii iist on the motor
name plate, the starting
and running voltage and amperage
requirements.
Use the following
formula to convert
voltage
and amperage
to wattage:
_Volts X Amp = Watts}
Inductive load appliances and tools such as refrigerators,
air compressors
and washers require approximately
2 to
4 times the listed running wattage for starting the equip-
ment. This initial load only lasts for a few seconds on
start-up but is very important when figuring your total
wattage to be used.
NOTE: Always start your largest electric motor first, and
then plug in other items, one at a time.
The guide
below is provided
to assist you in determining
the appliances
and tools that can be ran with the wattage
capacity
of your generator.
