Operator’s Manual
Use only high quality, well insulated, 3-wire grounded cords rated
for 125 V at 20 Amps (or greater). Keep extension cords as short as
possible (less than 15 feet) to prevent voltage drop and overheating
of wires.
120 VAC, 30 AMP, LOCKING
The 120 VAC locking outlet is protected against overload by a 30
Amp push to reset circuit breaker.
Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock or un
-
lock). Use the receptacle to power a 120 VAC, single phase, 60 Hz,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical load.
12 VOLT DC
The generator comes equipped with a 12 volt DC output capable
of providing 8.3 Amps of current, via the supplied 12 volt charging
cable.
USB RECEPTACLES
The generator comes equipped with a double USB receptacle. The
top is a 5V 1A USB port and the bottom is a 5V 2.1A USB port.
LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN
The generator is equipped with a low oil level shutdown that is de-
signed to protect the engine from damage caused by an insufficient
amount of oil in the crankcase. When the oil level in the crankcase
falls below the safe operating limit, the low oil level light will illumi-
nate and the engine will automatically shutdown.
CO DETECTOR (SHUT OFF SYSTEM)
The (carbon monoxide) CO Detector monitors the accumulation of
CO gas while the generator is running and will shut off the engine if
the levels become dangerously high. The CO Detector on this gener-
ator is not a substitute for an indoor CO alarm.
Whenever the CO Detector has shut off the engine there will be a
light on the control panel that indicates the reason. Read the CO
Action Label for the next steps to take.
If the CO Detector light is flashing “red” you must leave the area
immediately and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate the area
thoroughly before occupying again. Ensure the generator is located
in an open outdoor area with the exhaust pointed away from occu-
pied structures. If anyone experiences dizziness, headaches, nausea,
or tiredness get to fresh air immediately and seek medical attention.
If the CO Detector light is a constant “yellow” then a system fault has
occurred, or it is indicating that it has reached the end of its life. This
fault can only be diagnosed and repaired by an Authorized Service
Provider.
The CO Detector monitors the accumulation of CO gas from all
sources in the area around the generator. If the CO Detector light is
flashing “red” this is not an error and safety measures must be taken
immediately.
Note: Tampering with the CO Detector could result in hazardous
conditions and must be avoided.
Note: The generator must not be operated in ambient temperatures
greater than 131°F (55°C) as this can damage the CO Detector.
