Break-in period
a. Breaking-in the Engine will help to ensure proper equipment and Engine operation.
b. The break-in period will last about 30 hours of use.
DO NOT exceed 75% of the Generator’s running wattage during this period.
• Change the engine oil after this period.
Under normal operating conditions subsequent maintenance follows
the schedule explained in the
MainTEnanCE
section.
Nominal 12 VDC Output
1. Move the Economy (ESC) Switch to the OFF position.
2. Only use the 12 VDC receptacle to charge a 12 volt lead-acid type battery using an appropriate
charge controller. (Battery and controller not included.) The 12 VDC output is not regulated.
3. Do not connect any device to the 12 VDC terminal that draws more than 8 amps.
4. If this 12 VDC circuit protection is tripped, reduce the load, and press the Reset Button next to the outlet.
Connecting 120 VaC Loads to the Generator
Calculate power Draw:
Power draw can be calculated by multiplying
volts
and
amps
. The resulting number is
wattage
.
• Never exceed the running wattage for the Generator or any outlet amperage rating.
• Refer to appliance/tool owner’s manuals to determine the wattage of electrical load devices.
• Long power cords and extension cords draw additional power. Keep cord length at a minimum.
Wattage Estimates
Refer to your device documentation for start-up and running wattage requirements.
Check nameplate wattages on all loads before connecting to Generator.
Plug the power cord of the 120 volt appliance/tool
into the 120 VAC Outlet on the Generator. Plug in
appliances from largest to smallest load.
note: Do not allow the Generator to completely run
out of fuel with devices attached. a Generator’s
output may sharply spike as it runs out of fuel,
causing damage to attached devices.
