Output and Overload Indicators
The Output indicator (green) will remain ON during normal operating
conditions.
In addition, the Output indicator has a simplified hour meter function.
When you start the engine, the indicator blinks according to the
generator's cumulative operating hours as follows:
• No blinks: 0–100 hours
• 1 blink: 100–200 hours
• 2 blinks: 200–300 hours
If the generator is overloaded (see page 27), or if there is a short in the
connected appliance, the Output indicator (green) will go OFF, the
Overload indicator (red) will come ON and current to the connected
appliance will be shut off.
Stop the engine if the Overload indicator (red) comes ON and
investigate the overload source.
• Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in
good order, and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the
generator. Then connect the power cord of the appliance, and start
the engine.

NOTE:
When an electric motor is started, both the Overload indicator (red) and
the Output indicator (green) may come ON simultaneously. This is
normal if the Overload indicator (red) goes OFF after about 4 seconds.
If the Overload indicator (red) stays ON, consult your generator dealer.
