OPERATION
1
USING EFFICIENCY MODE
The inverter is equipped with an efficiency mode switch
to minimize fuel consumption. In efficiency mode, the
inverter will sense the load and adjust the engine RPM
to the current load requirements. Efficiency mode
should be used only after the inverter has been warmed
up to operating temperature.
1.
To turn on the efficiency mode, press the switch to
the
ON
position).
2.
If no load is present, the inverter RPM will drop
down to an idle speed.
3.
As a load is applied, the inverter will sense the load
and engine RPM will increase according to the load
applied.
4.
To run the inverter at maximum power and RPM,
press the efficiency mode switch to the
OFF
position.
OVERLOAD RESET
An electrical overload or short circuit will trip the
overload protection system by disconnecting the
generator’s AC output even though the engine is still
running. If this occurs, the overload alarm light will be
illuminated red and the output indicator light will be off.
The AC output can be restored as follows:
1.
Turn off and unplug any electrical devices or
cords from the 120-Volt AC
receptacle on the
control panel.
2. Press the generator reset button on the control
panel until the overload alarm light goes off and the
output indicator light is illuminated green.
3.
Check that the intended electrical running and
starting loads do not exceed the generator’s
capacity or have a licensed electrician rectify any
fault causing a short circuit in the load.
4.
Reconnect any electrical devices or cords to the
receptacles on the control panel and then turn on
the electrical loads as required.
SWITCHING FUEL SOURCES
PLEASE REVIEW FUEL SAFETY
SECTION ON PAGE
The below assumes that the propane fuel line is already
attached to the generator securely and safely.
While the unit is running simply turn the
FUEL
SELECTOR
knob to the desired fuel source. If you
want to switch from gasoline to propane make sure the
propane tank valve is open before you switch. When
you move from propane to gasoline shut the propane
valve after you have switched to gas.
NOTICE
If you do not plan on operating the unit on propane do not leave
the propane tank valve open.
When starting on propane the engine may run rough for a few
seconds while it purges gasoline in the carburetor.
If the engine fails when switching fuel sources simply restart the
unit on the fuel source that you switched to.
STOPPING THE INVERTER
Normal Operation
During normal operation, use the following steps to
stop your inverter:
1.
Remove any connected loads from the control
panel receptacles.
2.
Allow the inverter to run at “no load” to reduce and
stabilize engine and alternator temperatures.
3.
Press and hold the Push Start/
utton
