GEN2000I 2200 Surge Watt / 1800 Running Watt Portable Gasoline Inverter Generator Manual
17
Connect electrical devices to this generator according to the following procedure:
1. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started.
2. Confirm that the electrical device is switched off prior to plugging it into this generator.
Connect only electrical devices that are in good working order. Faulty devices or power cords present the risk of electrical shock.
Immediately turn off and disconnect any device that commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or abruptly stops. Determine if the
problem was the device or the rated load capacity of this generator has been exceeded.
NOTE: While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlets or the 12 Volt DC outlet. Both 120 Volts and 12V
can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.
3. Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device with
the next lower rated wattage requirement.
Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to this generator.

SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin cords can require more wattage from a generator to power an electrical device. Figure 9 shows the recommended cords according to the
power requirement of the electrical device. When using cords that exceed these specifications, allow for the electrical device to have a slightly higher
rated wattage requirement.

ECONOMY SWITCH
The Economy Switch automatically reduces engine speed when loads are turned off or disconnected. When appliances are turned on or
reconnected, the engine returns to the proper speed to power the electrical load. If high electrical loads are connected simultaneously, turn the
Economy switch to the OFF position to reduce voltage changes.
ECONOMY ON: Recommended to minimize fuel consumption and further reduce noise levels when less than a full load is applied to the
generator.
ECONOMY OFF: The Economy function will not operate. When using the DC output, turn the Economy Switch to the OFF position. Make sure
the Economy Switch is in the OFF position before starting. Turn the Economy Switch to the ON position after the engine has warmed up for 2 or 3
minutes
