AC OPERATION

Before connecting an appliance to the generator, make sure that it is in
good working order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that
of the generator.
Most motorized appliances require more than their electrical rating for
startup. When an electric motor is started, the overload indicator (red)
may come on. This is normal if the overload indicator (red) goes off
within 4 seconds. If the overload indicator (red) stays on, consult your
generator dealer.
1.Start the engine (see page 22) and make sure the output indicator
(green) comes on.
2.Plug in the appliance.

3.Turn on the appliance.
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 3.0 kVA), if there is a short
circuit in a connected appliance, or if the inverter is overheated, the
overload indicator (red) will come ON. The overload indicator (red) will
stay ON, and after about five seconds, current to the connected
appliance(s) will shut off, and the output indicator (green) will go OFF.
Stop the engine and investigate the problem.
Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a connected appliance, an
overload, or an overheated inverter. Correct the problem and restart the
generator.
