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
flip 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.
4. Restart engine. Make sure to follow starting instructions.
DC Application (Option):
This usage is applicable to 12V battery charging only. Be 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.
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.
CAUTION
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.
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.
