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.

Move inverter to a flat surface outside in a well

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.
