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 of various controls and ad- justments. Save all manuals for future references.

GENERATOR CAPACITY

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 de- termining 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 au- tomatically shut itself down and will not restart until the oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up, the gener- ator will not start until oil is added.

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

OFF/RUN/START SWITCH

Placed in the START position to start engine and the OFF position to stop engine. NOTE: When engine is running switch will remain in the run position.

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 consumption, 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.

IMPORTANT: When the unit is running the battery will charge. DO NOT connect the 12V DC cables to the generator’s battery.

To charge battery:

1.Using the 12V DC cables supplied, connect the red positive (+) 12V DC cable to the battery's positive (+) terminal.

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

3.Connect the black negative (-) 12V DC cable to the battery's negative (-) terminal.

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

5.Charge the battery according to battery or equipment manufacturer recommendations.
