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

Shutdown. 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 sen-

sitive. You must fill the engine to the full mark on the

dipstick to inactivate this safety device.

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, tel-

evisions, 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 posi-

tive (+) 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 (-) bat-

tery 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.
