Malfunctions While Running
Check for any issues while the generator is running and consult EcoFlow for further technical support if necessary.
Tips: The generator is used at 5 ℉-104 ℉(-15 ℃—40 ℃). The generator can operate at rated power under standard atmospheric conditions ("standard atmospheric conditions" - ambient temperature 77℉ (25 ℃) - atmospheric pressure 100KPA - relative humidity 30%). Once the temperature, humidity and altitude exceed standard atmospheric conditions, the output of the generator will drop. Using for a long time in a high temperature (above 95℉ /35 ℃) environment will affect the service life of the generator and the built-in battery. Moreover, if the generator is used in any narrow space, its load must be reduced as the generator cooling is affected.
The generator can be started using any of the four methods below:
To turn the engine off in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the "OFF" position. In any other circumstances, please follow the below steps.
Tips: While the engine is running, the AC output can be connected and disconnected by the AC switch button. If the generator supplies power to multiple loads or electrical equipment, please start electrical equipment in descending order, according to the size of the load.
Switch off all electrical equipment before inserting plugs.
Make sure that all electrical equipment including wires and plugs are in good condition before being connected to the generator, and confirm that all loads carried by the generator are within the rated load range and that the load current is within the rated current range.
Tips: Make sure that the generator is grounded. If any electrical equipment needs to be grounded, the generator must also be grounded.
Charging the DELTA Max or the DELTA Pro
Tips: The upper and lower limits may be set on the app. The upper limit is 100% by default and the lower limit is 20% by default. When used together with the DELTA Max or the DELTA Pro for recharging, to improve the utilization efficiency of fuel, it is recommended to set the upper limit as 80%. When charging with DC, the AC switch can be turned on for AC output. The total power of DC+AC is 1800 W, with AC output as the priority.
Tips: The DELTA Pro needs to use the dedicated adaptor plug, which is included in the DELTA Pro standard configuration.

Turn off the generator before starting any maintenance. Place the generator on a level spot and separate the spark plug cap from the spark plug to prevent the generator from starting up. Do not use the generator such in poorly ventilated places such as rooms, rail tunnels or caves. Be sure to keep the working area well ventilated. Exhaust gas from the generator contains toxic carbon monoxide fumes. Inhaling these fumes may lead to shock, loss of consciousness or even death.
The spark plug is an important part of the generator and must be checked regularly.
The carburetor is an important part of engine, and should be adjusted by the dealer who has the professional knowledge, data and equipment to ensure it is adjusted correctly.
Usage in high altitude areas
In high altitude areas, the atmospheric pressure may reduce the amount of air intake, decline the performance and increase the fuel consumption of standard carburetors. Moreover, the dense mixture may contaminate the spark plug and lead to starting difficulties. When the generator is running at high altitudes (above 3000 feet/914 m), the emissions may increase.
Modifying the carburetor can improve its high altitude performance. If you plan to operate your generator at high altitude (above 3000 feet/914 m) areas for a long time, please contact your after-sales service team to help to modify it. When using the modified carburetor in high altitude areas (if within the service life of the generator), the generator will satisfy every emission standard.
Do not drain the engine oil immediately after the generator is switched off. The oil temperature will be very high. Please take care not to get scalded when draining the oil.
Never use fuel in any place near smoke or flames.
Be sure to tighten the fuel cap.
Once the generator starts running, the engine and the muffler will become scalding hot. Do not let your skin or clothes directly touch the engine or muffler during your checks and maintenance.
If you plan to place this generator into long-term storage, you need to take some storage measures to prevent premature aging of the generator.
As fuel is highly volatile and toxic, please carefully read the "Safety Guidelines" for handling instructions.
Wipe any spilled fuel away with a clean soft cloth to prevent it from damaging the plastic shell.
Take the following steps to protect parts such as the engine body and piston rings which are the most susceptible to corrosion.
Disconnect the battery each time you store it for a longer period of time and reconnect it before using it again.
