Eco (Economy) Mode
The Eco Mode switch 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 the supplied accessories
and other commercially available 12V DC automotive style
plugs. The DC output is unregulated and can damage some
products. Confirm the input voltage range of your item is at
least 12-24V DC. When using the DC outlet turn the Eco Mode
switch to the “OFF” position.
!
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.
!
CAUTION
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.
Battery Charging
