FREQUENCY OF USE

If the generator will be used on an infrequent or intermittent
basis (more than one month before next use), refer to
the Battery Maintenance and Storage sections of this
manual for information regarding battery charging and fuel
deterioration.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The circuit breakers will automatically switch OFF if
there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the
generator at each receptacle. The main circuit breaker
will automatically switch OFF if the combined load of the
receptacles exceeds 40 Amps.
If an AC circuit breaker switches OFF automatically,
check that the appliance is working correctly and it does
not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before
resetting the AC circuit breaker ON.
