Operation 

Powering 12 Volt DC tools and Equipment:

1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage

capacity (12VDC) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering
exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or

equipment for connection to a separate generator.

2. Connect the power cord of a 12 VDC powered tool or equipment to the DC Terminals.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE TO CONNECT THE POSITIVE (+) LEAD OF THE  
POWER CORD TO THE POSITIVE (+) TERMINAL ON THE GENERATOR,  
AND CONNECT THE NEGATIVE (-) LEAD OF THE POWER CORD TO THE 
NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL ON THE GENERATOR.

3. If using only a 12

V

 volt DC tool or equipment, turn the 120 volt AC If using only a 12

V

 volt

DC tool or equipment, turn the 120 volt AC

4. Start and run the engine as described above

5. When finished using the generator, turn the engine power switch to its “OFF” position. Turn

the fuel valve to its “OFF” position.

6. Disconnect the electrical powered tools’ power cord from the generator’s DC terminals.

7. After the engine and generator have completely cooled, store the generator in a safe, clean, dry

location (if not already installed in one).
