OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE
To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from
building or trailer walls, vehicles, trailers, boats, and other equipment during
operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
• Operating this generator less than 3 feet (1 meter) from a building, obstruction, or
when it is in an enclosure, a storage or security compartment/bay, can cause
overheating and damage the generator.
• For proper cooling, allow at least 3 feet (1 meter) of empty space above and
around the generator.
Keep all cooling holes open and clear of debris, mud, water, etc. Cooling holes are
located on the control panel and the bottom of the generator. If the cooling holes
are blocked, the generator may overheat and damage the engine, inverter, or
windings.
• Since the CO-MINDER may detect the carbon monoxide concentration and the
engine may stop automatically, pay attention to the direction of exhaust and
where the generator is located (see page 27).
Refer to "SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS" on page 49 and perform the "IS
YOUR GENERATOR READY TO GO?" checks (see page 43).
Refer to "AC OPERATION" (see page 60) for connecting loads to the generator.
1. Make sure that all appliances are
disconnected from the AC
receptacles.
2. Set the Voltage Selector Switch to
match the voltage requirements for
the application.
