USING ELECTRICAL POWER
AC Application:
1. Turn off the switch(es) of the electrical device(s) before
connecting to the generator.
2. Insert the plug(s) of the electrical device(s) into the
receptacle.
3. Start electrical device(s). Let run for a few moments
and then push the economy control switch to the ON
position.
Overload Indicator Light:
The overload indicator light comes on when an overload of
a connected electrical device is detected, the inverter unit
overheats or the AC output voltage rises. The electronic
breaker will then activate, stopping power to the generator
in order to protect the generator and any connected electric
devices. The output light (green) will flicker and the overload
indicator light (red) will turn on, then the engine will stop
running. If so please follow the following steps:
1. Turn off any connected electric devices.
2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices to
be within the generators range.
3. If total wattage is within range, check for blockages in
the cooling air inlet and around the control unit. If any
blockages are found, remove.
NOTE: The AC output of the generator automatically
resets when the engine is stopped and then
restarted.
4. Restart engine. Make sure to follow starting instructions.
DC Application (Option):
This usage is applicable to 12V battery charging only. Make
sure that the economy control switch is in the off position while
charging the battery.
1. Connect the battery charging cable to DC receptacle on
the generator.
NOTE: A battery charging cable is included in the box.
2. Connect to the battery terminals using the charging
leads. Make sure the red lead is going to the positive (+)
post of the battery and the black lead is going to the
negative (-) post of the battery.
3. Once the connection is confirmed make sure the DC
circuit protector is in the ON position.
WARNING
DO NOT USE WORN, BARE, FRAYED OR OTHERWISE
DAMAGED ELECTRICAL CORD SETS WITH THE
GENERATOR. DO NOT HANDLE ANY KIND OF
ELECTRICAL DEVICE WHILE STANDING IN WATER,
WHILE BAREFOOT OR WHILE HANDS OR FEET ARE
WET.
CAUTION
• BE SURE THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE(S) IS(ARE)
TURNED OFF BEFORE PLUGGING IN.
• BE SURE THAT THE TOTAL LOAD IS WITHIN
GENERATOR RATED OUTPUT.
• BE SURE THE SOCKET LOAD CURRENT IS
WITHIN THE SOCKET RATED CURRENT.
• THE ECONOMY CONTROL SWITCH MUST BE
TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION WHEN USING
ELECTRIC DEVICES THAT REQUIRE A LARGE
STARTING CURRENT.
• THE AC OUTPUT OF THE GENERATOR
AUTOMATICALLY RESETS WHEN THE ENGINE
IS STOPPED AND THEN RESTARTED.
• THE OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT MAY COME
ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AT FIRST WHEN
USING ELECTRIC DEVICES THAT REQUIRE A
LARGE STARTING CURRENT.
• BE SURE THE ECONOMY CONTROL SWITCH
IS IN THE OFF POSITION WHILE CHARGING
BATTERIES WITH THE DC APPLICATION.
