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.

1. Before connecting the battery charging cable (included) to a
battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle
battery ground cable from the negative (–) battery terminal.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the 12V DC receptacle of
the generator.
3. Connect the red (+) battery charger lead to the red (+) battery
terminal.

Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start or stop the
generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
2. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and generator.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
5. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
Important:
Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine
switch are in the “OFF” position when the generator is not in use.
