CONTROLS
LCD Smart Display
The generator is equipped with a multifunction smart
LCD display to monitor real-time power output, fuel
usage, and provide the user with information alerts
relating to some basic service & fault scenarios.
Overview
(1) Power usage – Up to 6 bars shown with range
between 0% and 100% load
(2) Indicator symbols – Oil service, overload, low oil
level, low battery voltage
(3) Fuel level – Up to 6 bars shown with range
between 0% and 100% fuel level
(4) Meter readings - AC voltage, frequency, DC
battery voltage, operating hours*.
*The hours display automatically alternates between
two readings:
a) With arrow showing – remaining hours based
on current load and fuel remaining.
b) Without arrow showing – total accumulated
hours from new.
Low fuel level Indicator
When the fuel level drops below 0.3 gal (1.2 L) the
first fuel level bar will flash. If the unit is running, the
remaining hours indicator will count down to 0 hrs
before the unit shuts down. If the unit is started with
less than 0.3 gal (1.2 L), the first bar will flash, and
the remaining hours will show 0 hrs.
Service Indicator
The service indicator will be displayed for 1hr when
the accumulated hours reach the following
milestones - 20hrs, 100hrs, and then every 100hrs
thereafter.
Overload Indicator
The overload indicator will illuminate when there is a
short circuit in a connected load, or the generator is
overloaded.
Low Oil Level Indicator
The low oil level indicator will illuminate, and the unit
will shut down when there is an insufficient amount of
oil in the crankcase
Low Battery Voltage Indicator
The low battery indicator will illuminate when the
battery voltage drops below 11.0 volts. The unit may
not start using the electric start, but can still be
started using the recoil start.
Generator Switch
Turn the generator switch to the choke position when
starting the engine. Refer to Starting the Engine.
Turn the generator switch to the on position “I” once it
has been started.
To turn off the generator, turn the generator switch to
the off “0” position.
