GENERATOR OPERATION
▲ Before using the generator, read and comply with all Safety Alerts and Icons.
▲ Ground the generator with a length of heavy cable by connecting the generator’s grounding terminal to an
external ground source.
▲ Read and comply with all Electrical & Electrocution Alerts.
Appliance Power Requirements
This generator is intended as a portable power source for appliances requiring less than 2400W maximum output. If
you don't know the watts for your appliance, multiply the amperage by the output voltage. For example: 20A x 120V
= 2400W.
You can connect appliances or devices to all receptacles on the control panel simultaneously as long as:
• The power load is not exceeded on each receptacle.
AND
• The combined power load of all appliances does not exceed the generator's total power output.
◊ Keep in mind that most appliances require more energy for startup than their operating wattage.
◊ Because the generator has a floating ground circuit, if you test the generator receptacles with a circuit tester, it is
normal to see an "Open Ground" test result.
◊ For additional help, see Troubleshooting: Appliance Does Not Operate.
AC Application
▲ Before using the generator, read and comply with all Safety Alerts and Icons.
The generator provides a 120V, 20A supply through a 5-20R duplex AC receptacle on the control panel.
• The AC receptacles may be used while the DC power is in use.
• In the event of an overloaded AC circuit, see Clearing an Overload Condition.
To connect to the AC receptacle:
1. Make sure that the appliance is OFF.
2. Start the generator.
The LCD shows output voltage when the generator is ready for use.

START
3. Connect your appliance to the generator's output receptacle.
Make sure that appliances are in good working condition and that the combined electrical rating of all
connected appliances does not exceed that of the generator (2400W max). If you don't know the watts for your
appliance, multiply the amperage by the output voltage. For example: 20A x 120V = 2400W.
4. Turn your appliance on.
