• Before using your unit, read ALL instructions and information in this
user manual.
• To prevent overheating, provide a minimum of 6 inches of clearance
on all sides of the unit. Take special care not to cover or obstruct the
cooling fan or exhaust vents located on each side.
• When using this unit outdoors, maintain the 6-inch clearance, but
shelter the generator to prevent rain, snow, dust, dirt, loose debris and
other particles from entering the generator. Such particles present a
fire hazard.
• You may simultaneously connect up to 2 DC loads and up to 2 AC loads
within the parameters enforced by the limits of the section.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock while cleaning the unit, disconnect
all inputs and power down the generator using the key port on the back
of the unit. SWITCHING OFF ALL POWER DISCHARGE PORTS WILL
NOT ELIMINATE RISK. TURN OFF MAIN POWER SWITCH.
• Inspect all power cords and connectors before attempting to connect
them to your generator. If cords are frayed, burnt, or otherwise
damaged, DO NOT connect the cord to your generator. Using damaged
cords or connectors increases the risk of fire and electrical shock.
• DO NOT use if your unit has been dropped or damaged in any way. If unit
is damaged, contact us for next steps (information on page 2).
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble the generator. There are NO
serviceable parts in the unit, and opening the generator can expose
the user to internal components that could cause severe injury or
death. Opening the generator is very dangerous and WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY.
• Repairs should be done ONLY by a qualified Patriot Power Generator
repair technician.
