The Control Panel Interface is located under the lid of the
enclosure. Before attempting to lift the lid of the
enclosure, verify that both left and right side locks are
unlocked. To remove the front cover, lift the cover straight
up to disengage the side hooks, then tilt and lift it away
from the unit.
When closing the unit, verify that both left and right side
locks are securely locked.
NOTE: All appropriate panels must be in place during
any operation of the generator. This includes operation
by a servicing technician
troubleshooting procedures.

With the control pad set to AUTO, the engine may crank
and start at any time without warning. To prevent possible
injury that might occur during sudden starts, always set
the control pad to OFF and remove the 7.5 amp fuse
before working on or around the generator or the
electrical loads that are to be powered by the generator.
For added security, place a DO NOT OPERATE tag or
placard at the control pad and the electrical loads that are
to be powered by the generator.
Never run the generator with any access panel removed.

code by calling 1–888–9ACTIVATE (1–888–922–8482).

that is guided by the controller screen prompts. Once the
product is activated, the controller screen will not prompt
you to activate again, even if you disconnect the
