products. Confirm your accessory input voltage range
is at least 12-21 V DC. When using the DC outlet turn
the Economy mode switch to the “OFF” position.
12 V DC Outlet – Battery Charging
1. Before connecting the battery charging cable 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 12 V DC
receptacle of the generator.
3. Connect the red (+) battery charger lead to the red
(+) battery terminal.
4. Connect the black (–) battery charger lead to the
black (–) battery terminal.
5. Start the generator.
Important:
The 12 V DC outlet is ONLY to be used
with the supplied 12 V DC battery charging cable. The
12 V DC output is unregulated and will damage other
12 V DC products. When using the 12 V DC outlet,
turn the
Economy mode switch to the “OFF” position. Be sure
all electric devices including the lines and plug
connections are in good condition before connection
to the generator.
Engine Stop
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start
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. Turn the engine switch to the “Off” position.
6. Turn the fuel cap lever vent to the “Off” position
after the generator has cooled down completely.
Important: Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the
Engine Switch are in the “OFF” position when the
engine is not in use.
Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and
starting watts necessary for your purposes.
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at
the same time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the
amount of power you need to keep your items
running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices
identified in step 1. Add this number to the number
calculated in step 2. Surge wattage is the extra
burst of power needed to start some electric driven
equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power
Management” will guarantee that only one device
will be starting at a time.
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and
amperage to watts:
Volts x 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
stabilize.
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.
