Resetting Circuit Breakers
If a circuit breaker trips (circuit shorted or too many appliances running), disconnect or
turn off as many loads as possible and reset the circuit breaker. Note that the generator set
will continue to run after a circuit breaker trips. Push the circuit breaker to OFF to reset it,
and push ON to reconnect the circuit. If the circuit breaker trips right away, either the
appliance (or electrical load) has a short or the circuit breaker is faulty. Call a qualified
technician.
Power vs. Altitude
The air density decreases as altitude increases, causing the generator set’s engine power to
decrease. Power decreases approximately 3.5 percent of rated power for each increase of
305 m (1000 feet). It may be necessary to run fewer appliances at higher altitudes.
Storing the Generator Set
Proper storage is essential for preserving top generator set performance and reliability
when the generator set cannot be exercised regularly and will be unused for more than
120 days. See the Operator’s Manual for proper storage procedures.
