Do Not Overload Generator
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated
wattage capacity can result in damage to the
generator and to connected electrical devices.
To prolong the life of your generator and
attached devices, follow these steps to add
electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load
attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes
to stabilize.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to
attach the item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
Overload Operation
The overload indicator light will turn on when
the load exceeds 3000W(approximately). If the
load exceeds 3200W(approximately), the light
will blink and cut power to the receptacles in 30
seconds.
Parallel Operation
Two FIRMAN model W03081 generators can be
operated in parallel to increase the total available
electrical power to 5500 watts. A FIRMAN parallel
kit (optional equipment) is required for parallel
operation. For kit availability, call Customer Service
at 1-844-347-6261 or visit:www.firmangenerators.com.

If oil level is below the LOW mark on dipstick:
1. Disconnect any electronic devices, and then

electronic devices until it is within the generator’s
rated output.

blockage. Remove blockage if found.
