Generator Shut Down
CAUTION: Equipment and property damage.
Disconnect electrical loads prior to starting or
stopping unit. Failure to do so could result in
equipment and property damage. (000136)
1. Shut off all loads and unplug electrical loads from
generator panel outlets.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to sta-
bilize internal temperatures of engine and genera-
tor.
3. Rotate Off/Run/Choke dial to OFF
4. Turn fuel cap OFF.

Restarting Hot Engines

CAUTION: Equipment and property damage.
Disconnect electrical loads prior to starting or
stopping unit. Failure to do so could result in
equipment and property damage. (000136)
See Fig. L.
1. Turn Off/Run/Choke dial from STOP to RUN. This will
open the fuel valve and permit starting.
2. Firmly grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until
increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away.

Low Oil Level Shutdown System

The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that
shuts down the engine automatically when the oil level
drops below a specified level to prevent engine damage
. The engine will not run until the oil has been filled
B
to the proper level (Fig.
If the engine shuts down and there is sufficient fuel,
check engine oil level.

Charging a 12 VDC Battery

WARNING: Explosion. Batteries emit explosive
gases while charging. Keep fire and spark
away. Wear protective gear when working with
batteries. Failure to do so could result death or
serious injury. (000137a)
WARNING: Risk of burns. Batteries contain sulfu-
ric acid and can cause severe chemical burns.
Wear protective gear when working with bat-
teries. Failure to do so could result death or
serious injury. (000138a)

NOTE: A battery may lose some of its charge when not in
use for prolonged periods of time.
The DC charging output is not regulated. The circuit pro-
tector does not prevent over charging a battery. Battery
charging should be done in a dry location
1. Start generator and turn Economy switch OFF.
2. Plug Battery Charging Cable into Battery Charger
Output jack, located on the control panel.
3. Connect positive (+) battery clamp (red wire) to
battery FIRST.
4. Connect negative (-) battery clamp (black wire) to

battery SECOND.
NOTE: This outlet can not recharge 6-volt batteries and can
.
not be used to crank an engine having a discharged bat-
tery.

WARNING: Environmental Hazard. Aways recy-
cle batteries at an official recycling center in
accordance with all local laws and regulations.
Failure to do so could result in environmental
damage, death or serious injury. (000228)

Parallel Operation

For output power up to 3230W, two inverters can oper-
ate in parallel using Parallel Kit (optional). See the Parallel
Kit Operator's Manual or contact Customer Service at 1-
888-331-4569.
NOTE: All connections to the parallel kit should be made
while both inverters are turned off and all loads discon-
nected.
1. Make sure the Eco Mode Switch is in the same posi-
tion on both generators.
2. Make appropriate parallel connections to the out-
lets on each inverter as outlined in the owner's
manual supplied with the kit.
NOTE: Do not disconnect any parallel kit connections once
the units are running.
3. Start both units per starting instructions. Once the
green output indicator illuminates, devices can be
connected and turned on using the parallel kit out-
let.
4. Follow
NOTE: For inverters, load applied to the parallel kit is not to
exceed 3230 watts due to a 5% power loss when parallel-
ing. See manual.
NOTE: Only use approved parallel kit.
