= High Temperatureof the Inverter System. The
unit has been overloadedto the point where the

3 Flashes--Overload. The unit has been overloaded to
the point that the output power required has
exceeded110% of ratedpower.
4 Flashes= Short Circuit. This indicatesthe unit's output has
been short circuited by the load connectedto it.

PRE-USE CHECK
Prior to starting the generator and adding loads, perform the
following tasks:
1. Make sure the generatorin on a firm, level, non-combustible
surface with at leastfive (5) feet of clearanceon all sides.
Never operate in an enclosed area or
indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a
vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such
as garages, even if doors and windows are
open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open
windows, doors, vents, and in an area that
will net accumulate deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness
or even death.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and
ventilating air is critical to correct generator
operation. Do net alter the installation or
permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator. The generator
MUST be operated outdoors.
