2 Flashes = High Temperature of the Inverter System. The
unit has been overloaded to the point where the
internal temperature of the inverter has exceeded
212° F.
3 Flashes = Overload. The unit has been overloaded to
the point that the output power required has
exceeded 110% of rated power.
4 Flashes = Short Circuit. This indicates the unit's output has
been short circuited by the load connected to it.

16. 12 VDC Plug: Connection for re-charging 12VDC automotive-
style batteries while generator is in operation.
17. FlexPower™ Switch: This switch slows the engine speed
when the load is reduced to save fuel and engine wear.
18. 12 VDC Circuit Breaker: Overload protection for the 12 VDC
charging system.
19. Ground (Earth) Connection Lug: Grounding point for the
generator; consult state and local electrical codes before use
(floating ground).
20. 120 VAC Receptacles: Two (2) receptacles for connecting
devices.
NOTE:
Do not exceed the rated output of the generator.

PRE-USE CHECK
Prior to starting the generator and adding loads, perform the
following tasks:
1. Make sure the generator in on a firm, level, non-combustible
surface with at least five (5) feet of clearance on all sides.
Never operate in an enclosed area or
indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a
vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such
as garages, even if doors and windows are
open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open
windows, doors, vents, and in an area that
will not accumulate deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness
or even death.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and
ventilating air is critical to correct generator
operation. Do not alter the installation or
permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator. The generator
MUST be operated outdoors.
