Operation
5 Volt DC USB Ports
The combined maximum current available for the USB
ports is 2.1 Amps at 5 Volts. The USB port allows you to
recharge most USB powered devices with a USB charging
cable (not included).
NOTICE For maximum output, use the bottom USB port.
NOTICE For charging ITE (Information Technology
Equipment) only.
12 Volt DC Receptacle
The maximum current available for the 12 Volt DC
receptacle is 5 Amps. A DC circuit breaker protects this
receptacle from overloads. If an overload occurs, the circuit
breaker will trip (push button pops out). Wait a few minutes
and push the button in to reset the circuit breaker.
230 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacles
These receptacles are protected against overload by an
internal overload system.
Use receptacles to operate 230 Volt AC, single–phase,
50 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 1,800 watts (1.8 kW)
at 7.8 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
230 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater).
Output Indicator
The green LED output indicator light comes on when the
generator is operating normally.
Overload Alarm
The red LED overload alarm light blinks when near an
overload and is steady if you overload the generator. The
green output indicator light will also go off. If the generator
was overloaded, you must turn off all electrical loads, then
push the generator reset button to continue operating.
Parallel Operation
Two Briggs & Stratton inverter generators can be run
in parallel with a Briggs & Stratton parallel operation kit
(optional equipment). When running in parallel, the total
output of power is shown in chart.
NOTICE Total electrical load connected to the parallel kit
must not exceed the maximum output.
See the parallel operation kits instruction sheet for detailed
instructions on installation and operation of the connected
generators.
NOTICE
• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from both
generators.
• The QPT switch must be in the same position on both
generators.
• Connect the parallel cables to both generators before
starting the engines. See instruction sheet supplied
with parallel kit.
• Start engine on one of the inverter generators
according to Generator Start Up.
• Once the green LED output indicator light on the first
generators is steady, start second generator.
• Connect and turn on electrical loads to the parallel
panel receptacles.
• DO NOT disconnect parallel cables after engines
have been started.
• Shut down engines as described in Generator
Shutdown.
This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.
When QPT is on, engine speed increases as loads are
connected, and decreases as loads are removed.
When QPT is off, engine will run at full governed speed.
