CARBON MONOXIDE SHUTOFF
DANGER! TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE INHALATION:
The Carbon Monoxide sensor is an additional layer of protection only. Do not use the
Generator in any area or situation that will allow carbon monoxide to accumulate.
• FLASHING RED LIGHT:
Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas
have built up. Leave immediately until
area has aired out. Move Generator to
well-ventilated area before operation.
• FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT:
Carbon monoxide sensor malfunction.
Sensor needs service. Call 1-888-866-5797 as
soon as possible. Do not use the Generator until
the sensor is working properly.
NOTE: Yellow light flashes once
after starting to indicate passing self-
check and is functioning normally.
Carbon Monoxide sensor must only be serviced by qualified technician to restore it to original
settings. Do not modify or tamper with the Carbon Monoxide sensor. Not following these
instructions can result in death or serious injury due to Carbon Monoxide sensor malfunction
Connecting Electrical Loads
Familiarize yourself with the engine controls, power panel and how to start the engine before using the
Generator. Calculate the wattage of the products you will use with the Generator and verify that the Generator
can handle the total load.
WARNING!
Connect only properly wired plugs
to the Generator. A plug that is spliced onto a
different cord may be hazardous. Only a qualified
electrician should wire a plug onto a cord.
NOTICE:
Never exceed the rated capacity for this Generator,
as serious damage to the Generator and/or appliances,
tools, and equipment could result from an overload. Starting
and running wattage requirements should always be
calculated when matching this Generator’s wattage capacity to the appliance, tool, or equipment.
Use the DC12 V Receptacle to power 12 VDC equipment.
WARNING! TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not charge batteries
without a proper charge controller. Do not overcharge.
a. Connect the items that require the most wattage first.
b. Connect “inductive” load appliances, tools, and equipment next. Inductive
loads are small hand tools and some small appliances.
c. Connect any lights next.
d. Voltage sensitive appliances, tools, and equipment should be the last to be connected to the Generator.
Plug voltage sensitive items such as TVs, DVD players, microwaves, and cordless telephones into a UL
®
Listed voltage surge protector (not included). Then, connect the surge protector into the Generator.
IMpORTANT!
Failure to connect and operate appliances, tools, and equipment in this sequence can cause
damage to the Generator, appliances, tools, and equipment and will
void
the Warranty of this Generator.
Note:
If Engine speed or voltage fluctuates with a load below the Generator’s
running watts, move the Choke Lever to the halfway position.

Evenly distributed
over outlets:
IF ANY CIRCUIT BREAKERS TRIp CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
1. Make sure that
ALL circuit breakers
are reset
before starting the Generator again.
2. Adjust the plugs so the loads are
shared across outlet circuits.
To achieve rated output from the Generator,
distribute loads over outlets.
