Operation
WARNING!
Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
• Electrical equipment, including cables and plug
connections, should not be defective.
1. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s).
2. When operating generator with extension cords, make
sure it is located in an open, outdoor area, at least 6.1
m from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away.
3. Extension cords running directly into home, powering
indoor items IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
WARNING!
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Extension cords running directly into the home increase
your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning through
openings.
• If an extension cord running directly into the home is used
to power indoor items, the operator recognizes that this
increases the risk of CO poisoning to people inside the
home and assumes that risk.
4. Install a manual transfer switch as soon as possible
if generator will be used to provide home power
restoration.
5 Volt DC USB Ports
The maximum combined current available for the USB
ports is 2.1 Amps at 5 Volts. The USB port allows you to
recharge most USB powered devices with a USB charging
cable (not included).
NOTICE
For maximum output, use the bottom USB port.
NOTICE
For charging ITE (Information Technology
Equipment) only.
12 Volt DC Receptacle
The maximum current available for the 12 Volt DC
receptacle is 60 Watts (5 Amps). A DC circuit breaker
protects this receptacle from overloads. If an overload
occurs, the circuit breaker will trip (push button pops out).
Wait a few minutes and push the button in to reset the
circuit breaker.
230 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacles
These receptacles are protected against overload by an
internal overload system.
Use receptacles to operate 230 Volt AC, single–phase, 50
Hz electrical loads requiring up to 3,450 watts (3.45 kW)
at 15 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
230 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater).
Power Use
The power use monitor indicates percentage of total generator
load using LED’s. The first green LED indicates generator
is operating normally or producing more than 5% load. The
fourth green LED comes on after 50% load is reached. The last
yellow LED comes on after 100% load is reached.
Output Indicator
The green LED output indicator light comes on when
the generator is operating normally. It indicates that the
generator is producing power at the receptacles. It will also
start flashing red if you start to overload the generator.
Overload Alarm
The red LED overload alarm light comes on and cuts
power to the receptacles if you overload the generator.
The output indicator light will also go off. If the generator
was overloaded, you must turn off and unplug all electrical
loads, press the MAIN RESET button on the generator
control panel and then plug in and restart electrical loads
one at a time to continue in normal operating mode.
