AC OPERATION

Before connecting an appliance to either 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 4 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 20 A
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 go ON. The
overload indicator (red) will stay ON, and after about four 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.
