Connect devices to be powered by generator by following the steps below

(see pages 8-9).

•

Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you

will power at the same time. See page 9 for how to calculate total amount of power needed.

•

Start the generator with nothing connected.

•

Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.

•

Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and attached device operates properly).

•

Plug in and turn on the next load.

•

Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

•

Repeat previous two steps for each additional load.

IMPORTANT: Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in

generator capacity.

TROUBLESHOOTING

STORING THE UNIT

When preparing to store the generator, allow the unit to cool for 30 minutes, then follow the guidelines listed on

page 18.

1

WARNING:

Do not connect to a building’s electrical

system unless the generator and transfer

switch have been properly installed and

the electrical output has been verified by

a qualified electrician. The connection

must isolate the generator power from

utility power and must comply with all

applicable laws and electrical codes.

IMPORTANT!

Only use OUTSIDE and

far away from windows,

doors, and vents.

NEVER use inside a home

or garage, EVEN IF doors

and windows are open.

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a

poison you cannot see or smell.

Generator makes a “spark

knock” or “pinging” noise.

An occasional light “knocking” or “pinging”

under heavy load is not a cause for concern.

However, if the knocking or pinging occurs

under normal load at a steady engine speed,

the problem may be with the brand of gasoline

being used.

Switch to a different brand of gasoline, making

sure that the octane rating is 86 or higher. If

problem continues, contact

a qualified

service

center.

If problem persists after trying the above solutions, contact

customer service or a qualified service center

for assistance.
