1. 240-Volt AC, 15-Amp Outlets: Each outlet is
capable of delivering the generator's peak output
of 2,400 Watts (i.e. 10 Amps at 240 Volts).
2. Engine Stop Button: Press and hold down this
button to stop the engine.
3. Generator Reset Button: Press and hold down
this button to reset the generator's electrical
output when safe to do so after reducing the
applied load or rectifying the electrical fault that
has caused an overload trip.
4. ECO Throttle Switch: Move the switch to the
ON position when powering small resistive loads
such as a computer or electric light; the engine
speed will automatically be kept to a minimum,
thereby reducing fuel consumption. Select the
OFF position when powering large inductive
loads such as an air conditioner or electric
pump; the engine speed will be kept higher for
maximum electrical starting power.
5. Choke: Pull the choke knob out to the START
position if starting a cold engine. To re-start a
warm engine, leave the choke knob pushed in to
the RUN position.
6. VST Meter: Continuously displays the
generator's AC output voltage when the
generator is running. Press the switch on its
fascia to illuminate the meter and then cycle
through the engine speed and cumulative
running hour values.

7. Fuel Control Switch: Turn the knob to the ON
position before starting the generator. Select
the OFF position after stopping the engine with
the engine stop button for routine shut down. Or
select the OFF position and allow the engine to
run out of fuel prior to long-term shut down.
8. Low Oil Alarm: The red warning light will
illuminate and the engine will automatically shut
down if the oil level becomes too low. Add oil to
the correct level before re-starting the engine.
9. Overload Alarm: The red warning light will
illuminate if the generator's AC output is
overloaded or short-circuited. A brief small
overload may be tolerated, but the connected
load should be reduced. An extended large
overload or short circuit will trip the overload
protection feature and disconnect the
generator's AC output even though the engine is
still running; reduce the connected load or rectify
the electrical fault before pressing the generator
reset button to restore AC output.
10. Output Indicator: The green status light will
illuminate whenever the engine is running and
there's AC output available from the generator.
11. Frame Terminal: The frame terminal can be used
by a licensed electrician to earth the generator if
necessary.
12. 12-Volt DC Accessory Socket: Can be used for
12-Volt DC powered devices up to a maximum
demand of 100 Watts (i.e. 8 Amps).
