INVERTER GENERATOR WITH SINE WAVE
This inverter generator eliminates power fluctuations like the ones you see in standard generators. It offers stable, consistent power.
Power from inverter generators is ultra-clean, and comes in a form that is useful for sensitive electronic equipment. It is clean enough to run
even the most sensitive electronic equipment.
Inverter generators can reduce fuel consumption, and they are often quieter than a traditional generator.
ENGINE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
You can avoid small engine problems if you follow the break-in procedure below. Because the pistons and rings wear into the engine’s walls,
small pieces of metal can flake off into the oil. It’s important to flush these pieces out of your generator by frequently changing the oil.
Maintain at
least a 50-75 percent load on your generator for the first 20 hours (Do not operate the engine at full load during the first 20 hours of operation.)
Varying the load will help seat the rings.
1. Allow the engine to run for 5 minutes before adding any load.
2. Change the break-in oil within the first 5 hours of use
3. Do not operate the engine at full load during the first 20 hours of operation.
4. Read and follow the Maintenance/Care section of this Generator manual.
