Use and Care Manual
Plugging a Device in to the AC Receptacles
a. Engage the parking brake and start the MPV without devices connected.
b. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started.
c. Conrm that the electrical device is switched off, then plug it into the unit.
d. Switch the generator mode switch to the “On” position.
e. Turn on the connected electrical devices in order of the highest to lowest rated wattage requirement.
RAVEN MPV-7100/7100S OWNER’S MANUAL
The MPV has a switch to alternate between generate mode
and drive mode. If the switch (located on the power panel)
is in generate mode, the MPV will NOT move. Likewise, if
the switch on the power panel is in drive mode, the panel
will NOT produce electricity.
Electrical devices running on AC current must be connected
according to their wattage requirements. The rated
(running) and surge wattage for the MPV generator is 6,500
and 7,100, respectively.
NOTE: The rated (running) wattage corresponds to the
maximum wattage a generator can output on a
continuous basis.
The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum
amount of power the generator can output for a
short time.
If too much power is being used it may trip the
breaker. To reset the breaker, press the reset switch
above the outlet in use.
Motorized devices typically require more than their rated
wattage for startup. The surge wattage ability of a generator
allows for this extra power requirement. T h i s g e n e r a t o r
c a n r u n a t i t s s u r g e w a t t a g e c a p a c i t y f o r o n l y a s h o r t
t i m e . Connect electrical devices requiring a rated (running)
wattage equal to or lesser than the rated wattage of this
generator.
IMPORTANT
Plugging in a faulty device will activate an internal feature of
the generator where the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR)
will cut power supply to ALL devices until the faulty device is
removed. If, when the generator is supplying power to your
devices, power fails when plugging in another device and
no breakers have tripped, try unplugging the device to see if
power returns to the other devices. If so, there is a problem
with that device and it cannot be used with the MPV.
Outlets are NOT GFCI protected.
Overload operation will greatly shorten generator service
life. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal
to the surge wattage of a generator.
Do NOT overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the
generator’s wattage/amperage can damage the generator
and or/ electrical devices connected to it.

t o i t t o p r o v i d e p o w e r t h r o u g h t h e g e n e r a t o r . When
the generator is used to power multiple loads or electric
appliances, start by connecting the appliance with the
highest starting power requirements (surge watts), followed
by the second highest and ending with the lowest.
