STARTING THE INVERTER
BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER,
REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON
PAGE 5.
For proper starting and operation of the inverter, make sure you
review the inverter features and their descriptions.
Before attempting to start the inverter, verify the following:
• The engine is filled with engine oil (see Figure 4: Engine Oil
Correct Level).
• The inverter is situated in a proper location (see Location
Selection).
• The inverter is on a dry surface (see Weather and Dry Surface).
• All loads are disconnected from the inverter (see No
Connected Loads).
• The inverter is properly grounded (see Grounding the Inverter).
Never use the inverter in a location that is wet
or damp. Never expose the inverter to rain,
snow, water spray or standing water while in
use. Protect the inverter from all hazardous
weather conditions. Moisture or ice can cause
a short circuit or other malfunction in the
electrical circuit.
Never operate the inverter in an enclosed
area. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. Only operate the inverter outside
and away from windows, doors and vents.
