Operation Manual

37
Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as
commercial power supply lines.
NOTE:
The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If you use both
at the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start-up.
AC applications
1. Start the engine and make sure the output indicator light (green) comes on.
2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off, and plug in the
appliance.
CAUTION
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator light
(red) may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights
the overload indicator light (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them
to the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes
sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the generator engine switch
immediately. Then disconnect the appliance, and examine it for signs of
malfunction.
Output and Overload Indicators
The output indicator light (green) will remain ON during normal operating
conditions.
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 1.0kVA), or if there is a short in the
connected appliance, the output indicator light (green) will go OFF, the overload
indicator light (red) will go ON and current to the connected appliance will be
shut off. Stop the engine if the overload indicator light (red) comes ON and
investigate the overload source.
