Overload Operation

The overload indicator light will turn on when the rated
load is exceeded. When the maximum load is reached,
the LED will blink and cut power to the receptacles. To
recover the power, shut down the engine, wait until the
light turns off and restart the generator.

The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic
maintenance.

Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner.
Correct any issue before operating the generator.

Tampering with the factory set governor will void
your warranty.
