SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
CARBON MONOXIDE SHUTOFF
DANGER! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE INHALATION:
The Carbon Monoxide sensor is an additional layer of protection only. Do not use the
Generator in any area or situation that will allow carbon monoxide to accumulate.
• FLASHING RED LIGHT:
Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide
gas have built up and generator will
shut off. Leave immediately until area
has aired out. Move Generator to
well-ventilated area before operation.
• FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT:
Carbon monoxide sensor malfunction.
Sensor needs service. Do not use the Generator
until the sensor is working properly. For
technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
NOTE: Yellow light flashes once
after starting to indicate passing self-
check and is functioning normally.
Carbon Monoxide sensor must only be serviced by qualified technician to restore it to original
settings. Do not modify or tamper with the Carbon Monoxide sensor. Not following these
instructions can result in death or serious injury due to Carbon Monoxide sensor malfunction.
Break-in Period
a. Breaking-in the Engine will help to ensure proper generator and Engine operation.
b. The break-in period will last about 30 hours of use.
DO NOT exceed 75% of the Generator’s running wattage during this period.
• Change the engine oil after this period.
Under normal operating conditions subsequent maintenance follows
the schedule explained in the MAINTENANCE section.
Connecting 120VAC Loads to the Generator
Calculate Power Draw:
Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts and amps. The resulting number is wattage.
• Never exceed the running wattage for the Generator or any outlet amperage rating.
• Refer to appliance/tool owner’s manuals to determine the wattage of electrical load devices.
• Long power cords and extension cords draw additional power. Keep cord length at a minimum.
Wattage Estimates
Refer to your device documentation for start-up and running wattage requirements.
Check nameplate wattages on all loads before connecting to Generator.
Plug the power cord of the 120 volt appliance/tool
into the 120 VAC Outlet on the Generator. Plug in
appliances from largest to smallest load.
Note: Do not allow the Generator to completely run
out of fuel with devices attached. A Generator’s
output may sharply spike as it runs out of fuel,
causing damage to attached devices.
