DC overcurrent protector
When there is a problem in the load or a wrong connection, the DC circuit will be
overloaded, and the DC overcurrent protector will automaticly disconnect the circuit to
protect it.
When the indicator inside DC overcurrent protector pops up, it means DC overcurrent
protector is in the OFF position. After several minutes, push the DC protectorās button
to let it back to the ON position.
5) High Altitude Operation
At high altitudes, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Power output will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. High altitude
performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the
carburetor and readjusting the pilot screw. If you always operate the generator at
altitudes higher than 3,300 feet (1,000 meters) above sea level, have a generator
dealer authorized by our company perform this carburetor modification; or the
generator should be used with lowered power rating.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine power will decrease approximately 3.5%
for each 1,000 feet (300 meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on power will
be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
If an engine jetted for high altitude is used at a lower altitude, the
lean air fuel mixture will reduce performance and may over-heat
and seriously damage the engine.
