AC OPERATION

Before connecting an appliance to the generator, make sure that the
appliance is in good working order and that its electrical rating does not
exceed that of the receptacle.
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 9 seconds. If the overload indicator (red) stays on, consult your
generator dealer.
1.Start the engine (see page 23)
and make sure the output
indicator (green) comes on.
2.Plug an appliance into the
appropriate receptacle.
3.Turn on the appliance.
If the generator is overloaded (see page 29), or if there is a short circuit
in a connected appliance, the overload indicator (red) will come on. If
the overload indicator (red) stays on continuously for more than 4
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 or an
overload. Correct the problem and restart the generator.
