Eco Mode Switch

The economy switch has 2 modes of operation:

• On: The quietest mode and best when running appli-

ances or equipment that are resistive loads (non-motor

starting), (example: TV, video game, light, radio).

• Off: Best when running a both inductive (motor-start-

ing loads) and resistive (non-motor starting loads),

especially when these loads are turning on and off

(example: RV, air conditioner, hairdryer).

Generator Status Lights

See Fig. F.

• Overload LED (red): Indicates system overload .

During motor starting it is normal for the overload LED

to illuminate for a few seconds. If LED stays illuminated

and the ready LED turns off, the engine will continue to

run without output power. Remove all applied loads

and determine if attached devices exceed recom-

mended output power. Check for faulty or shorted con-

nections. To restore electrical output, turn dial OFF to

reset. Start engine. If condition was corrected, the red

LED will not illuminate and electrical output will be

restored. Loads can be applied once the green LED illu-

minates. If the orange LED returns, contact a Service

Dealer.

NOTE: Allow spilled fuel to evaporate before starting unit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to prevent gum

deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as

the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alco-

hol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or metha-

nol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation

and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damage the fuel system of an engine while in stor-

age. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system

should be emptied before storage of 30 days or lon-

ger. See the Storage section. Never use engine or car-

buretor cleaner products in the fuel tank as

permanent damage may occur.

Grounding the Generator When In

Use

See Fig. I. The generator is equipped with an equipment

ground connecting the generator frame and the ground

terminals on the AC output outlets (see NEC 250.34 (A).

This allows the generator to be used as a portable with-

out grounding the frame of the generator as specified in

NEC 250.34.

• Neutral Floating

Fig. I

The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame

and from the AC outlet ground pin. Electrical devices

that require a grounded outlet pin connection will not

function if the outlet ground pin is not functional.

Know Generator Limits

Overloading a generator can result in damage to the

generator and connected electrical devices. Observe the

following to prevent overload:

• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be

connected at one time. This total should NOT be greater

than the generator's wattage capacity.

• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light

bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances, and

motors can be found on a data label or decal affixed to

the device.

• If the appliance, tool, or motor does not give wattage,

multiply volts times ampere rating to determine watts

(volts x amps = watts).

• Some electric motors, such as induction types, require

about three times more watts of power for starting than

for running. This surge of power lasts only a few seconds

when starting such motors. Make sure to allow for high

starting wattage when selecting electrical devices to

connect to the generator:

1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.

2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other

connected loads.

Wattage Reference Guide is provided to assist in deter-

mining how many items the generator can operate at

one time.

NOTE: All figures are approximate. See data label on appli-

ance for wattage requirements.

season as detailed in the following chart.

Preventive Maintenance

Dirt or debris can cause improper operation and equip-

ment damage. Clean generator daily or before each use.

Keep area around and behind muffler free from combus-

tible debris. Inspect all cooling air openings on genera-

tor.

WARNING: Personal injury. Do not insert any

object through the air cooling slots. Generator

can start at any time and could result in death,

serious injury, and unit damage. (000142a)

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
