OPERATION
Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering with the engine speed
adjustment could result in overheating of attachments and could cause a fire.
You will want to be careful when connecting loads so as not to overload the generator, especially if you
are powering devices with motors that require a higher starting power load.Instructions are provided
below for connecting loads when you are using the generator as a portable power source.
Connect electrical loads one at a time according to the following instructions:
1. Allow engine to reach operating speed by allowing it to warm up for approximately 5 minutes before
connecting electrical devices.
2. Check the devices to be connected is turned “OFF” before connecting them to the AC outlets.
3. After engine is warmed up, begin by connecting the items that require the highest wattage first.
The recommended sequence is as follows:
1. Connect items with motors such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, or small hand tools, one
at a time.
2. Let each motor stabilize before connecting the next device.
3. Connect any lights you are planning on powering.
4. Connect voltage sensitive equipment such as electronics via surge protectors. Plug devices such
as TV’s, computers and microwaves into a voltage surge protector, then plug the surge protector
into the generator.
12V DC CONNECTION
The generator is fitted with a socket outlet specifically for connection to a lead acid battery for charging.
The output voltage is 12V with maximum output current of 8.3A. The generator will charge lead acid
batteries of various sizes from small to large.
DO NOT attempt to charge Nicad, Nickel Metal hybrid, or lithium type batteries. ONLY use provided
charger cable.
The generator must be run at the correct speed in order to produce the proper electrical voltage
and frequency. Failure to do so could result in damage to equipment powered by the generator and
possible injury to the individual.
Do not overload generator. Make sure that combined starting and running loads do not exceed rated
capacity of generator. Overloading the generator can cause damage to the generator and attached
electrical devices and may result in fire.
