NOTE:
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum
wattage rating of the generator when using one or
more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage
rating of any one receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in
period (the first five hours of operations).
1. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes
after starting.
2. Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in on
position.
3. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single
phase, 60Hz electrical loads. It is better to attach
the item with largest load first.
LOW IDLE Switch
NOTICE
Always start the generator with LOW IDLE SWITCH
on OFF position. Allow the engine speed to stabilize
and the OUTPUT READY INDICATOR LED to
illuminate green before switching LOW IDLE Switch
to ON position.
NOTICE
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the LOW IDLE Switch should be turned
OFF.
NOTE:
LOW IDLE minimizes fuel consumption and noise by
adjusting the engine speed (RPM) to the minimum
required for the current load. Turn LOW IDLE Switch
to ON position when powering small appliances with
continuous loads such as a computer or electric light.
Turn LOW IDLE Switch to OFF position when
powering large surge loads such as an air conditioner
or electric pump. Be certain that the OUTPUT READY
INDICATOR LED is illuminated green before turning
the switch to ON position. If no load is present, the
generator speed (RPM) will drop to idle speed. The
generator will detect loads as they are applied and
increase engine speed (RPM). To run the generator
at maximum power and speed (RPM), push the LOW
IDLE Switch to the OFF position.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
Let the generator run at no-load for two minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and
generator.
2. Press the engine switch to the "OFF"(O) position.
Do not leave the generator until it has completely
stopped.
OFF
3. Turn the Multi-Switch to the "OFF" position.
