1. SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your
generator. It will help you avoid accidents if you get familiar with your
generator’s safe operation procedures.
WARNING
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you.
You CANNOT smell or see this gas.
• Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or
doors that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any struc-
ture or building during use.
• NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-enclosed
areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and windows or using
fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home.
• NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces.
Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very
quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that you
cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell ex-
haust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
• NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not su󰀩cient to carry
away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or
death.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide
from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.
• If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention
immediately. Inform medical sta󰀨 that carbon monoxide poisoning
is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have
someone call the re department to determine when it is safe to
re-enter the building.

WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely ammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding or Draining Fuel
• Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Handle
fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a spout,
use a funnel.
• Do not overll the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
• Do not rell fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling
the generator, turn it o󰀨 and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on
hot engine parts could ignite.
• Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the tank,
keep heat, sparks and open ame away. Carefully clean up any
spilled fuel before starting engine.
• Always ll fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
• NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline,
propane, kerosene, and other ammable liquids should be stored
outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety con-
tainers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as
a natural gas water heater in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or the
container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors from the fuel can
travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance’s pilot
light or by arcing from electric switches in the appliance.

If the generator should malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for added
protection. Using the ground path from the generator to an external
ground source as instructed in the section labeled “Grounding
Instructions” in the Preparation section of this manual can be
necessary. Please consult a qualied electrician for local regulations.
• The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not kept dry.
Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet conditions. To
protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open,
canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before touching the
generator.


DANGER
Improper grounding can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualied electrician for
your local requirements if you are in doubt as to
whether the unit is properly grounded.
• Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty,
outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at
least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check
that the entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all
three prongs,especially a grounding pin.
• NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator
into a wall outlet, a practice known as “back feeding”. This is
an extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution
risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility
transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit
protection devices.
• If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power
appliances, have a qualied electrician install the appropriate
equipment in accordance with local electrical codes.

4.3 Overload indicator light (red)
The overload indicator light (1) comes on when an overload of a
connected electrical device is detected, the inverter control unit
overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. Then, the AC protector will
trip, stopping power generation in order to protect the generator and
any connected electric devices. The AC pilot light (Green) will go o󰀨
and the overload indicator light (Red) will stay on, but the engine will
not stop running.
When the overload indicator light comes on and power generation
stops, proceed as follows:
1. Turn o󰀨 any connected electric devices and stop the engine.
2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the
rated output.
3. Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control
unit. If any blockages are found, remove.
4. After checking, restart the engine.
TIP: The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at
rst when using electric devices that require a large starting current,
such as a compressor or a submergible pump. However, this is not a
malfunction.
