Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads
To Restore Home Power Using a Transfer Switch
Connections to your home's electrical system must use a
manual transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician.
The connection must isolate the generator power from
the utility power and comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes.
To Restore Power Using Extension Cords
Generator may only be loaded up to rated power under
the rated conditions as shown on unit data tag. Reduce
load when using generator outside of rated conditions.
Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cables in
accordance with IEC 60245-4 with the generator's 230
Volt AC outlets. Inspect extension cables before each
use. Check that all extension cables are suitably rated
and are not damaged. When using extension cords
under 40° C, the total length of cords for a cross section
of 1.5 mm² should not exceed 60 m or for a cross section
of 2.5 mm² should not exceed 100 m.
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
• Electrical equipment, including cables and plug
connections, should not be defective.
1. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s).
2. When operating generator with extension cords,
make sure it is located in an open, outdoor area,
at least 6.1 m from occupied spaces with exhaust
pointed away.
3. Extension cords running directly into home,
powering indoor items IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you
in minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste
it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you
could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Extension cords running directly into the home
increase your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
through openings.
• If an extension cord running directly into the home is
used to power indoor items, the operator recognizes
that this increases the risk of CO poisoning to people
inside the home and assumes that risk.
4. Install a manual transfer switch as soon as possible
if generator will be used to provide home power
restoration.
230 Volt AC, 16 Amp Receptacles
Use receptacles to operate 230 Volt AC, single–phase,
50 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 3,680 watts (3.68
kW) at 16 Amps of current.
WARNING! Generator voltage could cause
electrical shock or burn resulting in death or
serious injury.
• Do not touch bare wires or receptacles.
• Do not use generator with electrical cords which are
worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• Do not operate generator in the rain or wet weather.
• Do not handle generator or electrical cords while standing
in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
• Do not allow unqualified persons or children to operate or
service generator.
• Keep children a safe distance from generator.
230 Volt AC, 32 Amp Receptacle
Use receptacle to operate 230 Volt AC, single–phase, 50
Hz electrical loads requiring up to 5,000 watts (5.0 kW) at
21.7 Amps of current.
5 Volt DC USB Ports
The maximum current available for the USB ports is 2.1
Amps at 5 Volts. The USB port allows you to recharge
most USB powered devices with a USB charging cable
(not included).
NOTICE For maximum output when charging Apple
devices, use the bottom USB port.
NOTICE For charging ITE (Information Technology
Equipment) only.
Power Use
The power use monitor indicates the percentage of total
generator load using 4 LED's.

Overload Reset
If the generator is overloaded, it cuts power to the
receptacles. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads.
Press the OVERLOAD RESET button, plug in and restart
electrical loads one at a time to continue in normal
operating mode.
Step 5: Generator Shut Down
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. Never stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for one minute to stabilize
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn engine switch to OFF (0) position.
