OPERATION
STOPPING THE INVERTER
Normal Operation
During normal operation, use the following steps to stop
your inverter:
1. Remove any connected loads from the control panel
receptacles.
2. Allow the inverter to run at “no load” to reduce and
stabilize engine and alternator temperatures.
3. Move the engine/fuel control switch to the OFF posi-
tion (see Figure 11).

4. Turn the fuel tank vent to the OFF position.
During an Emergency
If there is an emergency and the inverter must be
stopped quickly, move the engine/fuel control switch to
the OFF position immediately (see Figure 11).
USING EFFICIENCY MODE
The inverter is equipped with an efficiency mode switch
to minimize fuel consumption. In efficiency mode, the
inverter will sense the load and adjust the engine RPM
to the current load requirements. Efficiency mode should
be used only after the inverter has been warmed up to
operating temperature.
1. To turn on the efficiency mode, press the switch to
the ON position).
2. If no load is present, the inverter RPM will drop down
to an idle speed.
3. As a load is applied, the inverter will sense the load
and engine RPM will increase according to the load
applied.
4. To run the inverter at maximum power and RPM,
press the efficiency mode switch to the OFF position.
RESETTING THE RESET BREAKER
The inverter will trip the breaker and automatically
disconnect from the load when the controls sense a
predetermined overload condition. The inverter engine
will continue to run, but there will not be any electrical
output.
1. Turn off all devices and unplug them from the inverter.
2. Determine the wattage required from the devices
being powered by the inverter. Make sure the wattage
required does not exceed the maximum output of the
inverter.
3. Press in the reset breaker to reset it (see Figure 12).

4. Plug the devices in to the inverter.
5. Turn on the devices as needed.
