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.
