KNOW YOUR GENERATOR
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the product and in this operator’s man-
ual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempt-
ing. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety rules.
120 V AC RECEPTACLES
Your generator has two single phase, 60 Hz outlets that
are 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp receptacles and one 120 Volt AC
30 Amp RV receptacle. These can be used for operating
appropriate appliances, electrical lighting, tools, and motor
loads.
AC CIRCUIT BREAKER
The circuit breaker is provided to protect the generator
against electrical overload. The circuit breaker may be
reset by pressing the circuit breaker reset button.
AIR FILTER
The air filter helps to limit the amount of dirt and dust
drawn into the unit during operation.
AUTO IDLE SWITCH
The auto idle switch is used to control the speed of the
engine and conserve fuel. When the switch is in the ON
(I) position and no appliances are connected to the unit,
the engine will idle. If an appliance is added, the engine
speed will increase to power the item. If the appliance is
removed, the engine will return to idle.
CO DETECTOR -AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
The generator’s carbon monoxide sensor is designed to
monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during gen-
erator operation. If the unit is positioned incorrectly and
carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the LED on
the sensor will flash red and the generator will automatical
-
ly shut down. Leave the area immediately and relocate to
an open outdoor area. Ventilate the area thoroughly before
occupying again. Ensure the generator is located in an
open, outdoor area and point exhaust away from occupied
structures before restarting.
NOTE: After a shutoff event has occured, the LED will
continue to flash red for up to 20 minutes. Once the
generator is relocated and CO levels are safe, the
generator can be restarted even if the light is still
flashing.
FUEL TANK
The fuel tank has a capacity of 3.3 gallons.
GROUND TERMINAL
The ground terminal is used to assist in properly grounding
the generator to help protect against electrical shock. Con-
sult with a qualified local electrician for grounding require
-
ments in your area.
