5.1 AC power application
1. Start the engine and make sure the green output indicator light comes on.
2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off then plug in the appliance.
■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.
5.2 Output and Overload Indicators
The green output indicator light will remain on during
normal operating conditions. If the generator is overloaded
to the point that the max power rating of 25 amps is
exceeded or if there is a short in the connected appliance
the output indicator will go out and the overload indicator
will go on and current to the connected appliance will be
shut off. Stop the engine if the overload indicator light
comes ON and investigate the overload source. The engine
will continue to run even though it is not producing any AC
power. The engine must be stopped and then the generator
restarted to resume normal operation.
The 5-20R single receptacle is rated at 20 amps. Should
this current be exceeded, the circuit protection device will
activate and cut all current to the receptacle. This will be
indicated by the push button popping out. Reduce the load
to the receptacle and reset the circuit protector by pushing
in the button.
■Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check
that it is in good order and that its electrical rating does
not exceed that of the generator. .
■When an electric motor is started, both the overload
indicator light and the output indicator light may go on
simultaneously. This is normal if the overload indicator
light goes off after about four seconds. If the overload
indicator light stays on, consult a service center.
