200987 - 4500W WIRELESS REMOTE START INVERTER GENERATOR

OPERATION

28

4.  If the generator power output is cut off due to an overload 

condition indicated by the AC overload blinking light, lower 
the load by unplugging one or more items, then press the 
AC overload reset button before restarting the generator for 
continued normal operation.

Power Management

Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to 
watts:

Volts × Amps = Watts

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow 
these steps to add electrical load:

1.  Start the generator with no electrical load attached.

2.  Allow the engine to run for several minutes to get up to 

temperature.

3.  Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item 

with the largest load first.

4.  Allow the engine to stabilize.

5.  Plug in and turn on the next item.

6.  Allow the engine to stabilize.

7.  Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.

 

NOTICE

Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the 
generator.

Eco (Economy) Mode

The Eco Mode button can be activated to turn on economy control 
in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating 
the unit during times of reduced electrical output. Eco Mode 
allows the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use.

The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is 
connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine runs at 
normal speed continuously.

 

CAUTION

For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations, 
the Eco Mode should be off.

12V DC Automotive Style Outlet

The 12V DC outlet(s) can be used with supplied accessories and 
other commercially available 12V DC automotive style plugs. 
Confirm the input voltage range of your item is at least 12-24V DC. 

 

WARNING

Do not operate a device while it is plugged in to the 12V DC 
outlet.

Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause serious injury 
or death.

 

WARNING

While charging a device do not place on the exhaust side of the 
generator. Extreme heat caused by exhaust can damage the 
device, and cause a potential fire hazard.
