Operation

KNOW YOUR GENERATOR

Read this General Manual and Safety Rules before operation of your Generator. Compare the illustration in your parts manual with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location and use of various controls. Save all manuals for future references.

IMPORTANT: Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can result in serious damage to your genera- tor and connected electrical devices. See the Wattage Calculation section in this manual to assist you in determining the appliances and tools that can be ran with the wattage capacity of your generator.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Each receptacle has a circuit breaker to protect the generator from overloading. If the circuit breaker trips, unplug all electrical loads from the generator. Let the circuit breaker cool down. Push circuit breaker button to reset.

LOW OIL SHUTDOWN

Your generator engine is equipped with Low Oil Shut- down. Low Oil Shutdown is a safety device designed to protect your engine from damage in the event the oil level in the crankcase is low.

If while the engine is running, the oil gets low, it will automatically shut itself down and will not restart until the oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up, the generator will not start until oil is added.

NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very sensitive. You must fill the engine to the full mark on the dipstick to inactivate this safety device.

FULL POWER SWITCH

IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine to stabilize.

1.Operate the generator in the 120V/240V mode for most applications.

2.The 120V mode is needed when starting large 120V motors. In this mode the maximum surge amps are available for easier start-up.

IDLE CONTROL

Choose the correct application.

1.For normal application such as power tools, small electric appliances, light bulbs, and radios:

Place the idle control switch in the ON position. The generator will idle down when there is no load. This lowers the engine noise, saves on fuel con- sumption, and engine life.

2.Idling down IS NOT recommend on large motors (refrigerators, freezers, etc) or voltage sensitive electronic equipment (computers, televisions, etc). For these applications:

Place the idle control switch in the OFF position.

12V DC OUTLET

IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine to stabilize.

To charge battery:

1.Using the battery cables supplied, connect the red positive (+) battery cable to the battery's positive

(+) terminal.

2.Attach the other end of the red positive (+) battery cable to the generators (+) 12V DC outlet.

3.Connect the black negative (-) battery cable to the battery's negative (-) terminal.

4.Attach the other end of the black negative (-) battery cable to the generators (-) 12V DC outlet.

5.Charge the battery according to battery or equip- ment manufacturer recommendations.

To operate 12V DC equipment:

1.Refer to the 12V DC equipment owner's manual for operation of equipment and any special cable or adapter requirements.
