2.9 Output and Overload LEDs
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload LED (Red) may damage the generator. Marginal
overloading that temporarily lights the overload LED (Red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
CAUTION!
The output indicator light (Green) will remain illuminated during normal operating conditions.
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 2000 W), or if there is a short in the connected equipment, the
output indicator light (Green) will go out, the overload indicator light (Red) will turn on and current to the
connected equipment will be shut off.
1. Remove all electrical loads from the generator and investigate the cause of the overload.
2. To reset the overload condition (Red light), stop and restart the generator. The (Green) indicator light
should be illuminated within 10 seconds.

• The total wattage of all equipment connected must be considered.
• Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
• Do not modify this generator or use it for purposes other than its intended use.
• When an extension cord is required, be sure to use a rubber sheathed flexible cord. Also make sure to use the
proper size and length cord:
16 Gauge Cords - a 16 gauge cord between 0 and 100 feet long will safely handle tool and equipment
loads up to 10 amps.
14 Gauge Cords - a 14 gauge cord between 0 and 50 feet long will safely handle tool and equipment
loads between 10 and 15 amps.
12 Gauge Cords – a 12 gauge cord between 0 and 50 feet will safely XM2/3 power supplies with NEMA
5-20 ends.
12 Gauge Cords – a 12 gauge cord between 50 and 100 feet will safely handle tool and equipment loads
between 10 and 15 amps.
CAUTION!
• Before connecting or reconnecting a power supply to the generator, check that it is in good order, and that its
electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.
• When an electric motor is started, the overload indicator light (Red) may go on momentarily while the output
indicator light (Green) remains on. This is not a problem as long as the overload LED only flickers on briefly.
