SPECIFICATIONS
OIL WARNING SYSTEM
When the oil level reaches a low level, the engine will stop
automatically. In order to restart the engine, the oil must be
refilled.
NOTE: It is important to check the oil level before each use.
ENGINE SWITCH
The engine switch must be in the ON position to start and run
the generator. Flip the engine switch to the STOP position to
stop the generator. SEE FIGURE 1
NOTE: It is recommended to keep the engine switch in the OFF
position while the generator is not in use.
ECONOMY CONTROL SWITCH
When the economy control switch is in the ON position, the
economy control unit controls the engine speed according to
the connected load. The results are better fuel usage and lower
noise levels. SEE FIGURE 1
NOTE: When starting the generator and while plugging in and
starting connected devices, make sure the economy control switch
is in the OFF position. Flip economy switch to the ON position once
all units are running smoothly.
DC CIRCUIT PROTECTOR
The DC circuit protector turns off automatically when the load
exceeds the generator’s rated output. SEE FIGURE 1
NOTE: If generator turns off due to access load, reduce the load to
within specific generator rated output levels.
FUEL TANK CAP AIR VENT
The fuel tank cap is provided with an air vent knob to stop fuel
flow. The air vent knob must be turned clockwise to the OPEN
position to run the generator. This will allow for fuel flow in
the engine. When the generator is not in use, turn the air vent
knob counterclockwise to the CLOSED position. This will block
air flow to the fuel tank. SEE FIGURE 2
FUEL VALVE
The fuel valve must be in the ON position to run the genera-
tor. When the generator is not in use, turn the fuel valve to the
OFF position. SEE FIGURE 2
