OPERATION

1-2019

BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER

BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER, REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 4.

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 15 feet (4.5 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.

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 inverter.

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.

NOTICE

Starting the inverter with loads already applied to it could result in damage to any appliance being powered o the inverter during the brief start-up period.

Grounding the Inverter

Consult with your local municipalities for your grounding codes.

THE Inverter (STATOR WINDING) IS ISOLATED FROM THE FRAME AND FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE GROUND PIN

WARNING

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.

NOTICE

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

ELECTRICAL DEVICES THAT REQUIRE A GROUNDED RECEPTACLE PIN CONNECTION WILL NOT FUNCTION IF THE RECEPTACLE GROUND PIN IS NOT FUNCTIONAL

WARNING

Be sure the inverter is properly connected to earth ground before operating.

High Altitude Operation

Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every 1000ft of increased altitude from sea level. This is a natural occurrence and cannot be adjusted by engine. Increased exhaust emissions can also result due to increased fuel mixture. Other issues include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.

WARNING

Do not rest inverter on exhaust panel. Do not move Inverter while it is on. The inverter will be damaged

if operated in this

manner.

A062R852 (Issue 1)

Page 12

1-2019

OPERATION

NOTICE

Even with a carburetor modication, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The eect of altitude on horsepower will be greater if no carburetor modication is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease the

power output of the inverter. Contact our service team to order altitude kits.

Page 13

OPERATION

1-2019

TRANSPORTING THE INVERTER

The inverter should be stopped and the fuel control switch should be turned to the OFF position before transporting the inverter. Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain out the fuel prior to transport.

If the inverter has been operating, allow the unit to cool down before loading it onto the transport vehicle.

The P4500i’s wheels are only intended for ease of moving the inverter around by hand. The wheels are not suitable for towing the inverter either on or o-road.

Use only the inverter’s xed handle(s) for lifting the unit or attaching any load restraints such as ropes or tie-down straps. Do not attempt to lift or secure the inverter by holding onto any of its other components.

The P4500i is also equipped with an extendable handle. To deploy it, push on the locking button and pull on the handle until it’s fully extended. To stow it, push on the locking button and push on the handle until it’s fully retracted. Only extend or retract the handle while the inverter is stationary and resting on a horizontal surface.

Locking Button

Handle Grip

The extendable handle is intended for ease of wheeling the inverter around by hand. Do not use the extendable handle to lift the inverter entirely o the ground, tow it or up-end it.

POWER OUTPUT AND DEMAND

120-Volt AC devices have two dierent electric power demands that must be taken into consideration, namely the running power and the starting/peak power. Both are measured in Watts (typically abbreviated as “W”).

The steady state continuous load is the running power demand and this is often marked on the device near its model number or serial number. Sometimes the device might only be marked with its voltage (i.e. 120 V) and current draw (e.g. 6 Amp or 6 A), in which case the running power demand in Watts can be obtained by multiplying the voltage times the current, e.g. 120 V × 20 A = 2,400 W.

Simple resistive 120-Volt AC devices such as incandescent bulbs, toasters, heaters, etc. have no extra power demand when starting, and so their starting power demands are the same as their running power demands.

More complex 120-Volt AC devices containing inductive or capacitive elements such as electric motors have a momentary extra power demand when starting, which can be up to seven times the running power demand or more. Manufacturers of such devices rarely publish this starting power demand and so it’s often necessary to estimate it. A rule of thumb for devices tted with an electric motor is to apply a starting power multiplier of 1.2 for small hand-held or portable devices and a value of 3.5 for larger stationary devices. For example, a 900 W angle grinder can be assumed to have a starting power demand of at least

1.2 × 900 W, which equals 1,080 W. Similarly, a 1,650 W air compressor can be assumed to have a starting power demand of at least 3.5 × 1,650 W, which equals 5,775 W. To prevent overloading of the inverter’s 120-Volt AC system:

1. Add up the running power demand of all the 120-Volt AC devices that will be connected to the inverter at one time. This total must not be greater than the inverter’s specied running power output.

2. Add up the running power demand again, but for the largest motor-driven device use the value of its starting power demand instead of its running power demand. This total must not be greater than the inverter’s specied starting power output.

3. The total running power demand of all the devices that will be connected to any one of the inverter’s outlets must not exceed the inverter’s specied running power output.

OPERATION

INITIAL OIL FILL

BEFORE ADDING ENGINE OIL, REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 4.

NOTICE

Engine oil must be added when the inverter is on a at, level surface, or an inaccurate reading may result. Do not overll. If the engine is overlled with oil, it can cause serious engine damage.

1. Unclip and remove the oil service panel to access the oil plug/dipstick (see Figure 3).

ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE FLUIDS AND FUEL

BEFORE ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE FLUIDS AND FUEL, REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON PAGE 4.

DANGER

Filling the fuel tank with gasoline while the inverter is running can cause gasoline to leak and come in contact with hot surfaces that can ignite the gasoline.

Before starting the inverter, always check the level of:

• Engine oil

• Gasoline in the fuel tank

Once the inverter is started and the engine gets warm, it is not safe to add gasoline to the fuel tank or engine oil to the engine while the engine is running or the engine and muer are hot.

CHECKING AND / OR ADDING ENGINE OIL

Figure 3: Oil Service Panel

2. Clean area around oil plug/dipstick and remove plug.

3. Using the supplied funnel, slowly add engine oil to the engine. Stop frequently to check the level to avoid overlling.

Figure 4: Engine Oil Correct Level

4. Do not overll, if oil level is too high, oil will drain out through the ll plug.

NOTICE

Each inverter is tested at the factory for quality assurance. There may be some residual oil remaining in the reservoir from testing so be careful to not overll.

WARNING

Internal pressure can build in the engine crankcase while the engine is running. Removing the oil ll plug/ dipstick while the engine is hot can cause extremely hot oil to spray out of the crankcase and can severely burn skin. Allow engine oil to cool for several minutes before removing the oil ll plug/dipstick.

The unit as shipped does not contain oil in the engine. You must add engine oil before starting the inverter for the rst time. See Initial Oil Fill for instructions on checking engine oil level and the procedure for adding engine oil.

NOTICE

The engine does not contain engine oil as shipped. Attempting to start the engine without adding engine oil will permanently damage internal engine components.

The engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown switch. If the oil level becomes low, the engine may shut down and not start until the oil is lled to the proper level.

The owner of the inverter is responsible to ensure the proper oil level is maintained during the operation of the inverter. Failure to maintain the proper oil level can result in engine damage.

STORAGE

WARNING

Never store an inverter with fuel in the tank indoors or in a poorly ventilated area where the fumes can come in contact with an ignition source such as a: 1) pilot light of a stove, water heater, clothes dryer or any other gas appliance; or 2) spark from an electric appliance.

NOTICE

Gasoline stored for as little as 60 days can go bad, causing gum, varnish and corrosive buildup in fuel lines, fuel passages and the engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the ow of fuel, preventing an engine from starting after a prolonged storage period.

Proper care should be taken to prepare the inverter for any storage

1. Clean the inverter.

2. Siphon all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as possible.

5. Change the oil (see Changing Engine Oil on page

16).

6. Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug Maintenance on page 18) and place about 1 tablespoon of oil in the spark plug opening. While placing a clean rag over the spark plug opening, slowly pull the recoil handle to allow the engine to turn over several times. This will distribute the oil and protect the cylinder wall from corroding during storage.

7. Replace the spark plug (see Spark Plug Maintenance on page 18).

8. Move the inverter to a clean, dry place for storage.

3. Start the engine and allow the inverter to run until

all the remaining gasoline in the fuel lines and

carburetor is consumed and the engine shuts o.

4. Drain any remaining fuel from the oat bowl. See

Draining the Float Bowl on page 18.
