Overload Operation
The overload indicator light will turn on when the rated
load is exceeded. When the maximum load is reached,
the LED will blink and cut power to the receptacles. To
recover the power, shut down the engine, wait until the
light turns off and restart the generator.
OPERATION
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-
fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output
will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft.
of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and
cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high
altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result
due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
Other high altitude issues can include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
Smart Charger
The smart charger (included) is a device that is used to
charge the generator battery. The smart charger plugs
into the generator, into the DC input on the front panel,
and then into a household outlet power source. There
is a light on the charger. If the battery is in need of a
charge or charging then the red light will light up. If
the battery is good and not in need of charging or has
completed charging then the green light will light up.
The smart charger is programmed not to charge or to
stop charging when the light is green. This is a safety
feature that will help prevent damage to the battery and
generator.
If the battery is completely dead, and won’t hold a
charge, then the smart charger can be plugged into
a power source to enable power to the choke.
