CONNECTION
w
Before the generator can be connected to a building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must
install an isolation (transfer) switch in the building’s main fuse box. The switch is the connection
point for generator power and allows selection of
generator or main line power to the building. This
will prevent the generator from charging the main
power line (backfeeding) when the main power
supply has failed or has been turned off for line
repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line
maintenance personnel. Also, generator and building electrical system damage can occur when normal operating power returns if unit is used without
an isolation switch.
AE00086
EXTENSION CORD NOTES
Extension cords should be protected by a tough flexible rubber sheath (IEC 245) or the equivalent to withstand mechanical stresses.

DANGER
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,
door, and vents.

Engine switch
The engine switch controls the ignition system.
1 7 “ON”
Ignition circuit is switched on.
The engine can be started.
2 5 “STOP”
Ignition circuit is switched off.
The engine will not run.
3 6 “START”
Starting circuit is switched on.

Oil warning light (red)
When the oil level falls below the lower level, the oil
warning light comes on and then the engine stops
automatically. Unless you refill with oil, the engine will
not start again.
NOTE:
If the engine stalls or does not start, turn the engine
switch to “START” position. If the oil warning light
comes on, the engine oil is insufficient. Add oil and
restart.

The power meter 1 shows the amount of electric current used by a barmeter.
The generator output is normal when the segments of
the barmeter appear.
NOTE:
When 10 segments appear, the generator has almost
reached its rated output.

Overload indicator light
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 off 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 off 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.
NOTE:
The overload indicator light may come on for a few
seconds at first when using electric devices that
require a large starting current, such as a compressor
or a submergible pump. However, this is not a malfunction.
