GENERATOR SAFETY WARNINGS
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monox-
ide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl spaces, or other partially
enclosed areas. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does
NOT supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and
vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING:RISK OF EXPLOSION. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: This generator may emit highly flam-
mable and explosive vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby
open flame can lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with .

it was not designed may cause hazards and personal injury.
Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets).
Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the generator by plugging in more electrical devices than the unit
can handle. This could damage the generator and/or connected electrical devices. Check the operating volt-
age and frequency requirements of all electrical devices prior to plugging them into the generator.
Allow generator to run for several minutes before connecting electrical devices. Do not start or stop en-
gine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Failure to do so could damage the generator and /
or connected electrical devices.
Do not turn ON electrical devices until after they are connected to the generator.
Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the generator, inspect both the generator as
well as extension and power supply cords for damage resulting from vibration.
Do not touch HOT PARTS. This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can
exceed 65ºC. Allow generator to cool down after use before touching engine or areas of the gen- erator
that become hot during use.
Turn off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.
Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing

KNOW YOUR GENERATOR
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL DEVICES
CAUTION: Before connecting devices, become familiar with the markings on the control panel before
connecting electrical devices.
Follow the steps below to properly connect your device(s) to the generator:
1. Before connecting electrical devices, allow the generator to run for a few minutes to stabilize the speed
and voltage output.
2. Select the device with the highest wattage, and make sure it is turned off. Plug the device into the genera-
tor and then turn the device on. Allow the engine to stabilize.
3. Repeat step 2 to plug in each additional device. DO NOT attempt to plug in or start multiple devices at the
same time.
LOW IDLE
This generator is equipped with an LOW IDLE Switch
Engaging this switch allows the system to regulate the
engine speed and automatically adjust its fuel consumption to
match the required load. When the electrical load changes, the
generator engine will automatically speed up and slow down as
needed. This reduces fuel consumption and noise levels, while ex-
tending runtime and engine’s lifespan.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The circuit breakers protect the individual AC and DC
The AC circuit breaker will activate when the AC outlets
exceed. The DC circuit breaker will activate when the DC 12V and
USB outlets exceed. When the circuit breaker activates, turn off
and disconnect the device from its respective outlet, and press
the circuit breaker to reset.
Keep this switch engaged ONLY when the power load requirement is LESS THAN 75% of the rated watts.
Do not engage the switch when the total load is more than 75% of the rated watts. The generator engine
must run at full speed to supply power for anything over 75% of the rated watts.

circuits.

KNOW YOUR GENERATOR
Select the items you will power at the same time.1.
Total the running (rated) watts of these items. This is the amount of power the generator must produce
to keep the items running.
2.
Estimate how many starting (max.) watts you will need. Sarting wattage is the short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because
not all motors start at the same time, total starting (max.) watts can be estimated by adding only the
item(s) with the highest additional starting (max.) to the total rated watts.
3.
GENERATOR CAPACITY
Make sure the generator can supply enough running (rated) and starting (max.) watts for the items you will
power at the same time. Follow these simple steps.

With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as described later in this manual.1.
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices, it is important to take care when adding electrical
loads to the generator. There should be nothing connected to the generator outlets before starting its
engine. The correct and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as follows:
NOTICE:
Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.2.
Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and attached device operates properly).3.
Plug in and turn on the next load.4.
Again, permit the generator to stabilize.5.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.6.
Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in generator
capacity as previously described.
Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity may
damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
