Note: When switching to propane operation the engine
may run rough for a few seconds while it purges
gasoline in the carburetor.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
IMPORTANT: Never start or stop the generator with
electrical devices connected.
2. Let the generator run with no load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine.
3. Push and hold the START/STOP button for one second
or push STOP on the remote start key fob for one
second.
Note: Alternately, if the generator is used infrequently, turn
the fuel tank valve to the OFF position to limit the
residual fuel remaining in the system. The engine
will stop when fuel in the carburetor and fuel line is
exhausted.
4. Push the battery switch to the OFF position.
5. If operating on propane, turn the propane tank valve to
the fully closed position.
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.
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.
The main circuit breaker controls total output of all outlets to
protect the generator from overload or short circuit.
OPERATION
GENERATOR CAPACITY
Do not overload the generator's capacity. Exceeding the
generator's wattage/amperage capacity can damage
the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous
(running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will
power at the same time.
The total power requirements (Volts x Amps = Watts) of all
appliances connected must be considered. Appliance and
power tool manufacturers usually list rating information
near the model or serial number.
To determine power requirements:
1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This
is the amount of power the generator must produce
to keep the items running. See the wattage reference
chart on the next page.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.
Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to
start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a
circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start
at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by
adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge
watts to the total rated watts from step 2.
Example:
Tool or Appliance
RV Air Conditioner (11,000 BTU)
TV (Tube Type)
RV Refrigerator
Light (75 Watts)
Coffee Maker
