OPERATION

BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER

BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER,
REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON
PAGE 5.
Location Selection – Before starting the inverter, avoid
exhaust and location hazards by verifying:
• You have selected a location to operate the inverter that
is outdoors and well ventilated.
• You have selected a location with a level and solid
surface on which to place the inverter.
• You have selected a location that is at least 15 feet
(4.5 m) away from any building, other equipment or
combustible material.
• If the inverter is located close to a building, make sure it
is not located near any windows, doors and/or vents.
WARNING
Always operate the inverter on a level
surface. Placing the inverter on non
level surfaces can cause the inverter
to tip over, causing fuel and oil to spill.
Spilled fuel can ignite if it comes in
contact with an ignition source such
as a very hot surface.
NOTICE
Only operate the inverter on a solid, level surface.
Operating the inverter on a surface with loose
material such as sand or grass clippings can cause
debris to be ingested by the inverter that could:
• Block cooling vents
• Block air intake system
Weather – Never operate your inverter outdoors during
rain, snow or any combination of weather conditions that
could lead to moisture collecting on, in or around the
generator.
Dry Surface – Always operate the inverter on a dry
surface free of any moisture.
No Connected Loads – Make sure the inverter has no
connected loads before starting it. To ensure there are no
connected loads, unplug any electrical extension cords
that are plugged into the control panel receptacles.
NOTICE
Starting the inverter with loads already applied to
it could result in damage to any appliance being
powered off the inverter during the brief start-up
period.

Grounding the iGen Inverters

Consult with your local municipalities for your
grounding codes.
WARNING
Be sure the inverter is properly
connected to earth ground before
operating.
High Altitude Operation
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above
sea level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for
every 1000ft of increased altitude from sea level. This is
a natural occurrence and cannot be adjusted by engine.
Increased exhaust emissions can also result due to
increased fuel mixture. Other issues include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
