PT2000i DIGITAL INVERTER GENERATOR
Control Functions
LED Indicators
The LED Indicators assist in communicating
proper and improper functions of the unit.
Overload Alarm (Red)
The Overload Alarm comes on when a con-
nected device requires more power than the
generator is able to produce, the inverter con-
trol unit overheats, or the AC output voltage
rises above rated values. The Output Indica-
tor (Green) will go off and the Overload Alarm
(Red) will stay on, but the engine will continue
to run.
When the Overload Alarm light comes on and
power generation stops, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off any connected electric devices
and stop the engine.
2. Reduce the total wattage of connected
electric devices within the rated output.
3. Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet
and around the control unit. If any block-
ages are found remove them.
4. After checking, restart the engine.
NOTE: The Overload Alarm may come on
for a few seconds when rst using electrical
devices that require a large starting current,
such as a compressor, pump, or refrigerator.
This is normal behaviour it is not a malfunc-
tion.
Low Oil Alarm (Red)
When the engine oil falls below the required
level the Low Oil Alarm will come on and the
engine will stop automatically. The engine will
not restart until oil is added to the unit to bring
it up to the appropriate level.
NOTE: If the engine stalls or does not start,
turn the engine switch to “ON” and then pull
the recoil starter. When starting the unit, if
the Low Oil Alarm light ickers and the en-
gine will not start you will need to add engine
oil before attempting to restart the engine.
CAUTION!
Generator should only be operated on
a level surface. DO NOT operate the
generator on loose ground or obvious
inclines. The low oil shutdown feature
may be prematurely activated in these
cases causing the engine to not start.
3-in-1 Switch Knob
When engine switch is in the “OFF” position,
the ignition circuit and fuel are switched off.
The engine will not run.
When engine switch is in the “ON” position,
the ignition circuit and fuel are on and choke
is switched off. The engine can be started
from warm.
When the switch is set to choke, the ignition
circuit, fuel and choke are switched on. The
engine can run.
NOTE: The choke is not required to start a
warm engine.
