SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Refer to the following chart in determining the necessary gauge extension cord for each of your devices. Round up
to the higher amperage in the chart to maximize safety.

WARNING! Generator should only be connected to electrical devices, either directly or with an extension
cord. NEVER CONNECT TO A BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM without a qualified electrician and connected to
a transfer switch as a separately derived system. Such connections must comply with local electrical laws and
codes. Failure to comply can create a back-feed, which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers.
NOTE: For power outages, permanently installed, stationary generators are better suited for providing backup
power to your home. Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded. This may result in
overheating or stressing the machine's components, possibly leading to generator failure.

USING YOUR GENERATOR
RED
(OVERLOAD)
OFF Generator output is normal.
Flashing continuously Generator is exceeding rated output.
Flashes 1x, repeating Voltage at alternator is too low. No elec-
every 3 sec trical output.
Flashes 2x, repeating Engine speed is too low. No electrical
every 3 sec output.
Flashes 3x, repeating Inverter temperature is too high. No
every 3 sec electrical output.
Flashes 5x, repeating Voltage at alternator is too high. No
every 3 sec electrical output.
Flashes 6x, repeating Generator has exceeded rated output and
every 3 sec cut off power to protect itself. No electri-
cal output.
