Dc Usage - Sportsman GEN4000DF Instruction Manual

Even though this generator has an overall rated wattage of 4000, do not attempt to draw more than 3500 Watts from the 120 Volt outlet.
Draws higher than 3500 Watts will damage this generator and void the warranty.
NOTE: While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlet or the 12 Volt DC outlet. Both 120 Volts and 12
Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.
Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device with
the next lower rated wattage requirement.
Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to this generator.

DC Usage

• The DC outlet is for charging 12 Volt battery, up to 8 Amps.
• NEVER attempt to jumpstart a car with this generator.
Do not secure the generator with a chain or rope, which would prevent it from being moved in an emergency.

SWITCHING BETWEEN GASOLINE & PROPANE FUEL
In order to switch between gasoline and propane fuel, you must turn off the current fuel. For example, if using gasoline and you want to switch to
propane, turn the gasoline Fuel Petcock to OFF position and let the engine continue to run until it burns off all remaining gasoline fuel in carburetor.
Then turn the propane tank ON. If using propane and you want to switch to gasoline, turn the propane tank OFF and turn the gas Fuel Petcock ON.
