Connection Plugs

120 VAC, Duplex Receptacle
The 120 Volt outlet is overload protected by
the 9 Amp push button circuit protector. See
Figure 2-3.

Run/Choke Lever

This controls the choke operation. See
2-4.
• The RUN position (1) is for normal opera-
tion and to gradually reduce the use of the
choke.
• The CHOKE position (2) closes the choke
in the carburetor to start the engine.
NOTE: The CHOKE is not required to start a
warm engine.

Generator Status Lights

See Figure 2-5.
• Output Ready LED (green): Indicates out-
put from generator (1) (unless there is a low
oil or overload condition).
• Overload LED (
overload (2). During motor starting it is nor-
mal for the overload LED to illuminate for a
few seconds. If LED stays illuminated and
the ready LED turns off, the engine will con-
tinue to run without output power. Remove
all applied loads and determine if attached
devices exceed
power. Check for faulty or shorted connec-
tions. To restore electrical output, turn dial
OFF to reset. Start engine. If condition was
corrected, the LED will not illuminate and
electrical output will be restored. Loads can
be applied once the green LED illuminates.
If the LED returns, contact an IASD.
• Low Oil Level LED (yellow): Illuminates
when oil level is below safe operating level.
Engine shuts down (3).

Circuit Protectors

The AC receptacles are protected by an AC
circuit protector. If the generator is overloaded
or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit
protector will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all
electrical loads to determine the cause of the
problem before using the generator again.
Reduce the load if the circuit protector is
tripped.
NOTE: Continuous tripping of the circuit pro-
tector may cause damage to generator or
equipment.
Push the button of the protector to reset the
circuit protector.
