When you exercise the generator, a small load such as a 100 watt light bulb is sufficient. If you want to use more, then a common hair dryer will draw up to 1200 or 1500 watts.
Hi all,
I just bought a Champion 3500/4000 generator after reading all the positive posts in this thread. I have not had the chance to do more than put oil in it and start it once or twice and I have a couple of questions
1) The engine runs at a fairly high RPM. When I put a good load on it, will it speed up or is it running on "high" all the time?
2) I've read here that I should "exercise" the generator periodically by giving it a load to deal with. What besides the AC on my trailer, which is inconvenient, would provide a good load easily?
TIA,
Eric
