n When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light (red) and the
output indicator light (green) may go on simultaneously. This is normal if the
overload indicator light (red) goes off after about four (4) seconds. If the overload
indicator light (red) stays on, consult your generator dealer.
Overload Reset Switch
Should the generator overload, AC power will be cut off but the engine will stay
running. Correct the overload condition and then press the overload reset switch on
the front panel. AC power will be restored immediately.

CHARGING CABLE
1. Connect the charging cables to the DC receptacle of the generator and then to
the battery terminals.
n Batteries give off explosive gases; keep spark, flames, cigarettes, and other
sources of ignition away.
n Provide adequate ventilation when charging.
n Batteries contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes may cause
severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield.
n Do not start an automobile engine with the generator still connected to the
battery. The generator can be damaged.
n Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cord. Do not
reverse the charging cables, or serious damage to the generator and/or battery
may occur.
n To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, connect the
charging cable first to the generator then to the battery. After charging,
disconnect the cable first at the battery.
n Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle,
disconnect the vehicle’s ground battery cable. Reconnect the vehicle's ground
battery cable after the charging cables are removed. This procedure will prevent
the possibility of a short circuit and sparks if accidental contact is made between
a battery terminal and the vehicle's frame or body.
