REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING
ON PAGE 5.
Location Selection - Before starting the inverter,
avoid exhaust and location hazards by verifying:
・You have selected a location to operate the
inverter that is outdoors and well ventilated.
・You have selected a location with a level and
solid surface on which to place the inverter.
・You have selected a location that is at least 6
feet (1.8 m) away from any building, other
equipment or combustible material.
・If the inverter is located close to a building,
make sure it is not located near any windows,
doors and/ or vents.
DANGER
Weather - Never operate your inverter outdoors
during rain, snow or any combination of weather
conditions that could lead to moisture collecting
on, in or around the generator.
Dry Surface - Always operate the inverter on a dry
surface free of any moisture.
No Connected Loads - Make sure the inverter has
no connected loads before starting it. To ensure
there are no connected loads, unplug any electrical
extension cords that are plugged into the control
panel receptacles.
Starting the inverter with loads already applied
to it could result in damage to any appliance
being powered off the inverter during the brief
start-up period.
Grounding the Inverters
There is a permanent conductor between the
portable generator stator winding and the frame.
Consult with your local municipalities for your
grounding codes.
Carbon Monoxide Specification
CO DETECT technology monitors the accumulation
of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas
produced by engine exhaust when the generator
is running. If CO Sensor detects unsafe elevated
levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the
engine CO Sensor is not a substitute for an indoor
carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation.
DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a
confined area through windows, doors, vents or
other openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used
outdoors, far away from occupied buildings with
engine exhaust pointed away from people and
buildings. Meets the requirements of
ANSI / PGMA G300-2018.
WARNING
Be sure the inverter is properly
connected to earth ground before
operating.
WARNING
NOTICE
NOTICE
Using a generator indoors
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide.
This is a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside
a home or garage,
EVEN IF doors and
windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE
and far away from
windows, doors,
and vents.
Avoid other generator hazards.
READ MANUAL BEFORE USE.
Always operate the inverter on a
level surface. Placing the inverter
on non level surfaces can cause
the inverter to tip over, causing fuel
and oil to spill. Spilled fuel can
ignite if it comes in contact with an
ignition source such as a very hot
surface.
Only operate the inverter on a solid, level surface.
Operating the inverter on a surface with loose
material such as sand or grass clippings can
cause debris to be ingested by the inverter that
could:
• Block cooling vents
• Block air intake system
