control function OvERlOAD INDICATOR lIGHT (RED) The overload indicator light comes on when an overload of a connected electrical device is detected, the inverter control unit overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. Then, the AC protector will trip, stopping power generation in order to protect the generator and any connected electric devices.
control function DC PROTECTOR The DC protector turns to “OFF” automatically when electric device being connected to the generator is operating and current above the rated flows. To use this equipment again, turn on DC protector by pressing its button to “ON”. 1.

operation Operation NOTICE • Never operate the engine in a closed area or it may cause uncon- sciousness and death within a short time. Operate the engine in a well ventilated area. The generator has been shipped without engine oil. Do not start the engine until filled with the sufficient engine oil.
operation Electric Start Turn the engine switch on the control panel to ON Or press it to START if it is electrical start state then generator unit can be started In order to extend the service life of the storage battery do not press on the switch for more than 3 seconds and the interval between two pressings should be longer than 10 seconds.

operation • If the generator is overloaded, or if there is a short circuit in a connected appliance, the overload indicator (red) will go ON. The overload indicator (red) will stay ON, and after about 4 seconds, the connected appliance(s) will shut off, and the output indicator (green) will go OFF. Stop both engines and investigate the problem.
operation TIP: • Follow instructions in the owners manual for the battery to determine the end of battery charging. • Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte to determine if the battery is fully charged. At full charge, the electrolyte specific gravity is between 1.26 and 1.28.
operation AC PARAllEl OPERATION APPlICATIONS TIP: • Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord can create a potential for electrical shock. • If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately.
operation APPlICATION RANGE When using the generator, make sure the total load is within rated output of a generator. Otherwise, generator damage may occur. Power 0.8-0.95 0.4-0.75 Factor (Efficiency 0.85) GI-3500 ~3,000W ~2,400W ~1,200W Rated voltage 12V Rated current 8A TIP: •...
