Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts:
Volts × Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow
these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to get up to
temperature.
3. Make sure all circuit breakers are set to the run position.
4. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item
with the largest load first.
5. Allow the engine to stabilize.
6. Plug in and turn on the next item.
7. Allow the engine to stabilize.
8. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the
generator.
Eco (Economy) Mode
The Eco Mode button can be activated to turn on economy control
in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating
the unit during times of reduced electrical output. Eco Mode
allows the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use.
The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine runs at
normal speed continuously.

CAUTION
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations,
the Eco Mode should be off.
12V DC Automotive Style Outlet
The 12V DC outlet(s) can be used with other commercially
available 12V DC automotive style plugs. Confirm the input voltage
range of your item is at least 12-24V DC.
WARNING
Do not operate a device while it is plugged in to the 12V DC
outlet.
Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause serious injury
or death.
WARNING
While charging a device do not place on the exhaust side of the
generator. Extreme heat caused by exhaust can damage the
device, and cause a potential fire hazard.
External Battery Charging
1. Before connecting the battery charging cable (not included) to
a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle
battery ground cable from the negative (–) battery terminal.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the 12V DC receptacle of
the generator.
3. Connect the red (+) battery charger lead to the red (+) battery
terminal.
4. Connect the black (–) battery charger lead to the black (–)
battery terminal.
5. Start the generator.
Important:
The 12V DC outlet is ONLY to be used with other
commercially available 12V DC automotive style plugs. Be sure
all electric devices including the lines and plug connections are in
good condition before connection to the generator.
