21
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow
these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to get up to
temperature.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item
with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.

NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the
generator.
Eco (Economy) Mode
The Eco Mode switch can be activated to turn on economy control
in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating
the unit during times of reduced electrical output. Eco Mode
allows the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use.
The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine runs at
normal speed continuously.
!
CAUTION
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations,
the Eco Mode should be off.
12V DC Automotive Style Outlet
The 12V DC outlet(s) can be used with supplied accessories and
other commercially available 12V DC automotive style plugs.
The DC output is unregulated and can damage some products.
Confirm the input voltage range of your item is at least 12-24V DC.
When using the DC outlet turn the Eco Mode switch to the “OFF”
position.
!
WARNING
Do not operate a device while it is plugged in to the 12V DC
outlet.
Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause serious injury
or death.
!
CAUTION
While charging a device do not place on the exhaust side of the
generator. Extreme heat caused by exhaust can damage the
device, and cause a potential fire hazard.
Battery Charging
1. Before connecting the battery charging cable (included) to a
battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle
battery ground cable from the negative (–) battery terminal.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the 12V DC receptacle of
the generator.
3. Connect the red (+) battery charger lead to the red (+) battery
terminal.
4. Connect the black (–) battery charger lead to the black (–)
battery terminal.
5. Start the generator.
Important:
The 12V DC outlet is ONLY to be used with the
supplied 12V DC battery charging cable. The 12V DC output is
unregulated and will damage other 12V DC products. When using
the 12V DC outlet, turn the Economy mode switch to the “OFF”
position. Be sure all electric devices including the lines and
plug connections are in good condition before connection to the
generator.
!
CAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is
connected and the generator is running. It will not give the
battery a boost of power. The vehicle or the generator may
be damaged. Charge only vented wet lead acid batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or
damage.
