OPERATION OF GENERATOR
HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR
• Checking the appliance(s) for proper operation, electrical shorts, and malfunctions. Also ensure
the generator has the ability to provide the required starting and running watts of the connected
appliance(s).
• Ensuring all appliances is in the “OFF” position upon starting the generator. Only start the con-
nected appliance(s) when the GREEN Output Indicator Light is illuminated and the generator is
providing the necessary power to run the connected appliance(s).
Before connecting or reconnecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order,
and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.
Reset power output after overload has been corrected by depressing the overload reset button.
LOW OIL ALARM SYSTEM:
This model is equipped with a Low Oil Alert System designed to avoid engine damage from
insufficient oil in the crankcase. The Low Oil Alarm System will stop the engine automatically
before the oil level in the crankcase drops below safe operating levels. This will cause the RED
Output Indicator Light to illuminate. Though the engine will stop running, the ignition switch will
remain in the “START” position. Turn to the “STOP” position.
