Output and Overload Indicators
The output indicator light (green) will remain ON during normal operating conditions.
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 2.0kVA), or if there is a short in the connected
appliance, the output indicator light (green) will go OFF, the overload indicator light (red) will go
ON and current to the connected appliance will be shut off.
Stop the engine if the overload indicator light (red) comes ON and investigate the overload source.
■
Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and that its
electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. Then connect the power cord of the
appliance, and start the engine.
■
When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator
light(red) and the output indicator light (green) may go on
simultaneously. This is normal if the over- load indicator light (red)
goes off after about four (4) seconds. If the overload indicator light
(red) stays on, consult your generator dealer.
