3. Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances
require more than their rated
wattage for startup.
4. Turn on the appliance.
If the generator is overloaded, or if there is a short circuit in a
connected appliance, or if the inverter is overheated, the red
OVERLOAD ALARM indicator will come ON. The red OVERLOAD
ALARM indicator will stay ON and, after about five seconds, current to
the connected appliance(s) will shut off, and the green OUTPUT
indicator will go OFF. Stop the engine and investigate the problem.
Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a connected appliance, an
overload, or an overheated inverter. Correct the problem and restart the
generator.
Before connecting an appliance to the generator, make sure that it is
in good order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the
generator. Then start the generator and connect the appliance power
cord.
When an electric motor is started, the red OVERLOAD ALARM
indicator may come on. This is normal if the red OVERLOAD ALARM
indicator goes OFF after about five seconds. If the red OVERLOAD
ALARM indicator stays ON, consult an authorized Honda generator
dealer.
