WARNING
Connecting a generator to your electric utility company’s
power lines or to another power source may be against the
law. In addition this action, if done incorrectly, could damage
your generator and appliances and could cause serious injury
or even death to you or a utility worker who may be working
on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a portable electric
generator during an outage, please notify your electric utility
company immediately and remember to plug your appliances
directly into the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could create
a connection to the utility company power lines. You are
responsible for ensuring that your generator’s electricity does
not feed back into the electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building electrical
system, consult your local utility company or a qualified
electrician. Connections must isolate generator power from
utility power and must comply with all applicable laws and
codes.
Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting
watts necessary for your purposes:
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same
time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the amount of
power you need to keep your items running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified
in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2.
Starting wattage is the surge of power needed to start some
electric driven equipment. Following the steps listed under
“Power Management” will guarantee that only one device will
be starting at a time.
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. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item
with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. 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 switch 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.
Eco Mode ON

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 the supplied accessories
and other commercially available 12V DC automotive style plugs.
The DC output is unregulated and can damage some products.
Confirm the input voltage range of your item is at least 12-24V DC.
When using the DC outlet turn the Eco Mode switch to the “OFF”
position.

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.
