ADDING LOADS
Once the generator has been running smoothly for 2-3 minutes,
electrical loads can be added.
Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise
damaged electrical cord sets with the
generator. Do not handle any kind of
electrical device while standing in water,
while barefoot, or while hands or feet are
wet.
1. Thereare two grounded 120 VAC duplex outlets on the front
of the generator.
2. DONOToverloadthe generator;if the red "overload" LEDlights
up and the devices attachedto the generatorstop operating,
stop the engine and reducethe load to the generator.Restart
and apply reducedloads.
3. Consultthe following table to estimate what can be powered
by the generator.

NOTE:
When an electric motor is started, the "OVERLOAD" L ED may
light up for up to five (5) seconds(this is normal).If it stayson,
a fault hasoccured. Removeall loadsand shutdowngenerator
to reset the alarm. Restart the generator. If the "OVERLOAD"
LED remainslit, contacta GeneracDealerfor assistance.
USING THE FLEXPOWER'" SWITCH
When the accessories connected to the generator are going to
be used intermittently (such as a hand drill), the FtexPower
TM
switch can be pushedto the "ON" (I) position. This will lower the
generatorengine speed when loads are not being applied,saving
fuel, reducingengine wear and extendingruntime.
