Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your product. Know its applications, its
limitations, and any hazards involved. Save these
original instructions for future reference.
The inverter generator is an engine–driven, revolving
field, alternating and direct current (AC & DC) generator.
It was designed to supply electrical power for operating
compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools and
motor loads. The generator’s revolving field is driven
at about 4,500 rpm (with QPT™ (QUIET POWER
TECHNOLOGY™) switch off) by a single-cylinder engine.
The inverter generator produces power that can be used for
outdoor items using extension cords or an optional parallel
kit. This inverter generator is not intended to restore power to
a home.
increase your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning through
openings. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s).
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this
manual is both accurate and current. However, the manufacturer
reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the

Engine exhaust could cause fire
resulting in death or serious injury.
Generator could cause electrical
shock resulting in death or serious
injury.
Muffler could cause burns or
resulting in serious injury.
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals on the
AC output receptacles. The generator neutral is floating,
which means that the AC stator winding is isolated from
the grounding fastener and the AC receptacle ground pins.
Electrical devices, such as RCD, requiring a grounded
neutral may not operate properly from this generator.
Earthing of the generator is not required.
Special Requirements
There may be regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult
a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local
agency having jurisdiction.
This generator is not intended to be used at a construction
site.
