201319 - 4500W DUAL FUEL ELECTRIC START INVERTER GENERATOR
4. If the generator power output is cut off due to an overload
condition indicated by the AC overload blinking light, lower
the load by unplugging one or more items, then press the
AC overload reset button before restarting the generator for
continued normal operation.
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts:
Volts × Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow
these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to get up to
temperature.
3. Make sure all circuit breakers are set to the run position.
4. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item
with the largest load first.
5. Allow the engine to stabilize.
6. Plug in and turn on the next item.
7. Allow the engine to stabilize.
8. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the
generator.
Eco (Economy) Mode
The Eco Mode button can be activated to turn on economy control
in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating
the unit during times of reduced electrical output. Eco Mode
allows the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use.
The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine runs at
normal speed continuously.
NOTICE
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations,
the Eco Mode should be off.
12V DC Regulated Automotive Style Outlet
The 12V DC outlet(s) can be used with supplied accessories and
other commercially available 12V DC automotive style plugs.
Confirm the input voltage range of your item is at least 12-24V DC.
When charging a device, do not place on the exhaust side of
the generator. Extreme heat caused by exhaust can damage
the device and cause a potential fire hazard. Prolonged
exposure to engine exhaust can cause serious injury or death.
Battery Charging
1. Before connecting the battery charging cable (not included) to
a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle
battery ground cable from the negative (–) battery terminal.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the 12V DC receptacle of
the generator.
3. Connect the red (+) battery charger lead to the red (+) battery
terminal.
4. Connect the black (–) battery charger lead to the black (–)
battery terminal.
5. Start the generator.
Important: The 12V DC outlet is ONLY to be used with supplied
accessories and other commercially available 12V DC automotive
style plugs. Be sure all electric devices including the lines and
plug connections are in good condition before connection to the
generator.
