AC Operation

WARNING
Before connecting a device or power cord to the generator, ensure it is in good condition. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electrical shock.

  • If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or suddenly stops, immediately shut it off. Disconnect the appliance and determine whether the problem is the appliance or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.

  • Ensure the combined electrical rating of the device or appliance does not exceed the maximum allowed by the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting a device or power cord to the generator, ensure the device or cord is in good condition and electrical rating does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by the generator.

  1. Start engine. See Starting the Engine for additional instruction.

  2. Confirm the desired appliance is switched off. Then plug the appliance or extension cord into one of the AC receptacles.

  3. Turn on the appliance.

NOTICE
Should the generator's maximum load of 25 amps be exceeded, the circuit protection device will trip and cut all current to the receptacles. The engine will continue to run.

Correct the load by unplugging all appliances from the receptacles and press-in the circuit protector button to reset, followed by the Overload Reset button. AC power will be restored immediately.

AC Capacity

Model Max Power Rated Power
P3200iEBT 2800 W 3200 W
NOTICE

In case of substantial overloading, the electronic circuit protector will activate. Slightly overloading the generator or running at maximum power operation (30 minutes) may not switch the circuit ON, but will shorten the service life of the generator.

Consider total power requirements of all connected devices. Appliance and power-tool manufacturers typically list rating information near the model or serial number. After plugging in a device, allow the generator to stabilize before plugging in additional items. Always consider generator capacity before plugging in any device.

Typical wattages are listed in the table below. Before plugging any device into the generator, verify the manufacturer-listed wattage on the device.

  • 2100 = Total Running (Rated) Watts

  • 300 = Additional Starting (Surge) Watts

  • 2400 = Total Generator Output Required

CAUTION

Ensure the combined electrical rating of the powered device(s) do not exceed the maximum output allowed by the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
