STARTING THE INVERTER
BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER,
REVIEW SAFETY SECTION.
For proper starting and operation of the inverter, make
sure you review the inverter control panel features and
their descriptions.
Before attempting to start the inverter, verify the
following:
• The engine is filled with engine oil (see
Engine Oil
Correct Level
).
• The inverter is situated in a proper location (see
Location
Selection).
• The inverter is on a dry surface (see
Weather and Dry
Surface
).
• All loads are disconnected from the inverter (see
No
Connected Loads
).
• The inverter is properly grounded (see
Grounding the
Inverter
)
DANGER
Never use the inverter in a location
that is wet or damp. Never expose
the inverter to rain, snow, water
spray or standing water while in use.
Protect the inverter from all hazardous
weather conditions. Moisture or ice
can cause a short circuit or other
malfunction in the electrical circuit.
Never operate the inverter in an
enclosed area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide. Only
operate the inverter outside and away
from windows, doors and vents.
Starting
TPE Di4000
1.

ventilated area away from open doors or windows.
2.
Check oil levels. If it is the first time starting make
sure to add oil (see
Adding Engine Oil
).
3.
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
