Connection Plugs

120 VAC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacle
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a
18 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each socket to
power 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 2200 watts (2.2 kW) or 18.3 Amps of cur-
rent. Use only high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire
grounded cord sets rated for 125 Volts at 18 Amps (or
greater). It provides protection with a Ground Fault Cir-
cuit Interrupter with a press to TEST and RESET buttons
(OSHA).

OFF/RUN/CHOKE Dial

This controls the ON/OFF functions, choke and fuel valve
operation.
•
The OFF position stops the engine and shuts off fuel flow.
•
The RUN position is for normal operation and to gradually
reduce the use of the choke.
•
The CHOKE position switches the fuel valve on to start the
engine.
The CHOKE is not required to start a
NOTICE:
warm engine.
OFF

USB Port

The 5 VDC, 1.5 Amp USB outlet allows charging of com-
patible electronic devices.

Eco Mode

The economy switch has 2 modes of operation:
•
On: The quietest mode and best when running appliances
or equipment that are resistive loads (non-motor starting),
(example: TV, video game, light, radio).
•
Off: Best when running a both inductive (motor-starting
loads) and resistive (non-motor starting loads), especially
when these loads are turning on and off (example: RV, air
conditioner, hairdryer).

Generator Status Lights

•
Power LED (1) (green): Indicates output from generator
(unless there is a low oil or overload condition).
•
Overload LED (2) (red): Indicates system overload. During
motor starting it is normal for the overload LED to illumi-
nate for a few seconds. If LED stays illuminated and the
ready LED turns off, the engine will continue to run without
output power. Remove all applied loads and determine if
attached devices exceed recommended output power.
Check for faulty or shorted connections. To restore electri-
cal output, turn dial OFF to reset. Start engine. If condition
was corrected, the red LED will not illuminate and electri-
cal output will be restored. Loads can be applied once the
green LED illuminates. If the red LED returns, contact the
nearest Service Center.
•
Low Oil Level LED (3) (red): Illuminates when oil level is
below safe operating level. Engine shuts down.

Circuit Breakers

The AC outlets are protected by an AC circuit breaker.
The 12 VDC outlet is protected by a DC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit
occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, discon-
nect all electrical loads to determine the cause of the
problem before using the generator again. Reduce the
load if the circuit breaker is tripped.
Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker
NOTICE:
may cause damage to generator or
equipment.
Push the button of the protector to reset the circuit
breaker.
