SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Overload Indicator
Note: The OVERLOAD light may turn on for a few seconds as a large device starts up.
This is normal for loads approaching the capacity of this Generator.
1. The total combined load through the outlets on the Generator must not exceed the running power of the unit.
2. The OVERLOAD light will begin blinking if the generator is approaching overload limit. If the OVERLOAD light
stays on and the Generator stops producing power, the generator has been overloaded.
3. Turn off and disconnect all electrical devices and stop the Engine. Compare device
requirements to Generator rating and reduce the total wattage of connected devices if
necessary. Move anything that may be limiting Generator ventilation away.
4. Check if any circuit breakers have tripped and make sure that ALL circuit
breakers are reset before starting the Generator again.
5. Restart the Engine and reconnect devices while being careful to not overload Generator.
6. Distribute loads evenly across receptacles to achieve rated output.
Low Oil Indicator
1. If the Engine oil level is too low, the LOW OIL light turns on and the Engine will automatically shut off.
2. The Engine cannot be restarted until the proper amount of oil has been added. Add the appropriate
type of oil until the oil level is at the proper level. SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended for general use.
NOTICE: Do not run the engine with too little oil. Engine will shut off if engine oil level is too low.
Note: The LOW OIL light will blink if the Generator stops due to CO sensor shutoff. This does
not indicate low oil. Follow all instructions under Carbon Monoxide Shutoff on page 12.
Economy (ESC) Switch
1. Turn the Economy (ESC) Switch ON to limit noise and fuel consumption for lighter generator loads.
2. Turn the Economy (ESC) Switch OFF to operate engine at full speed:
a. when starting
b. when a heavy load is applied
c. when using the 12 VDC output
Hour Meter
The Hour Meter shows cumulative run time in hours.
Voltage Selector
The Voltage Selector allows more current to be available at 120V outlets if 240V output is not required:
• Place switch at 120V only - only 120V outlets can be used.
• Place switch at 120/240V: Both 120V and 240V outlets can be used.
NOTE: Do not change the switch while under load.
For parallel function, Switch position must be at 120/240V.
Circuit Breakers
The circuit breaker protects the Generator from overloading. The rating of the breaker and the load it protects are
marked near the breaker. Should any of the Circuit Breakers trip, the Generator will stop the electricity output. If
this happens, unplug all loads from the Generator. Then, turn the tripped Circuit Breaker to ON and re-attach
loads gradually. Note: For push-type Circuit Breakers allow a few minutes for cool-down before restarting.
