• Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator light (red) may damage
the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the overload indicator light (red) may
shorten the service life of the generator.
• Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to the generator.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off
the generator engine switch immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and examine it for signs
of malfunction.
STEP 3. In order to insure the optimum output and the maximum service life of the generator,
the generator should run at a 50% load for the first 20 hours.
Output and Overload Indicators -
The output indicator light (green) will remain ON during normal operating conditions.
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of electrical output rating), or if there is a short in the
connected appliance, the output indicator light (green) will go OFF, the overload indicator light
(red) will go ON and current to the connected appliance will be shut off.
Stop the engine if the overload indicator light (red) comes ON and investigate the overload source.
• Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good working order, and
that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. Then connect the power cord
of the appliance and start the engine.
• When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light (red) and the output
indicator light (green) may go on simultaneously. This is normal if the overload indicator light
(red) goes off after about four (4) seconds. If the overload indicator light (red) stays on, consult
your generator authorised dealer.
