120 VAC, Duplex Receptacle

The 120 Volt outlet is overload protected by

the inverter module electronic control. See

Figure 2-4. Each receptacle will power 120

Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads

requiring up to 1600 watts (1.6 kW).

NOTE: Limit length of extension cords to fif-

teen feet, or less, to prevent voltage drop and

overheating of wires.

Figure 2-4. 120 VAC, Duplex Receptacle

PowerDial

The PowerDial controls the ON/OFF func-

tions, choke and fuel valve operation. See Fig-

ure 2-5.

• The START position (1) is used to start the

engine. In this position, the fuel is on and

the choke is fully on (closed).

• The RUN position (2) for normal operation

and to gradually reduce the use of the

choke.

• The STOP position (3) stops the engine

and shuts off fuel flow.

Figure 2-5. PowerDial (example)

PowerBar

The PowerBar indicates the amount of power

being used from the generator. Each section

is approximately 20%.

Economy Switch

The economy switch has 3 modes of opera-

tion:

•Economy: The quietest mode and best

when running appliances or equipment that

are resistive loads (non-motor starting),

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

•Standard: Best when running a both induc-

tive (motor-starting loads) and resistive

(non-motor starting loads), especially when

these loads are turning on and off (exam-

ple: RV, air conditioner).

•Turbo: Best when running inductive loads

(appliances or equipment with motor-start-

ing) that are continually running (examples:

drill, blender, saw, hairdryer).

Generator Status Lights

See Figure 2-6.

•Over Temperature LED (red): Illuminates

when unit temperatures exceed normal

operating conditions (1). The ready LED

will turn off and the inverter will cut power to

the outlets. Check for airflow obstructions

at front and rear panels. The engine will

remain running to cool the unit with the over

temperature LED illuminated. Once the unit

has reached normal operating tempera-

tures, the over temperature LED will turn

off. The reset button must then be pressed

for 1 second and released to clear the fault

and restore output power.

•Low Oil Level LED (orange): Illuminates

when oil level is below safe operating level.

Engine shuts down (2).

•Ready LED (green): Indicates output from

generator (3) (unless there is a low oil or

overload condition).

•Overload LED (red): Indicates system

overload (4). During motor starting it is nor-

mal for the overload LED to illuminate for a

few seconds. If LED stays illuminated and

the ready LED turns off, the engine will con-

tinue to run without output power. Remove

all applied loads and determine if attached

devices exceed recommended output

power. Review for any faulty or shorted

connections. Press and hold the reset but-

ton for 1 second and release. The red over-

load LED should turnoff. Loads can be re-

applied once the green ready LED illumi-

nates. If the red LED returns, contact an

IASD.

tation and storage.

Figure 2-10. Internal Fuel Tank Level

NOTE: Allow spilled fuel to evaporate before

starting unit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to pre-

vent gum deposits from forming in fuel

system parts such as the carburetor, fuel

hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-

blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or

methanol) 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 storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system

should be emptied before storage of 30

days or longer. See the Storage section.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank as permanent

damage may occur.

(000105)

DANGER

Explosion and Fire. Fuel and vapors are

extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel

in a well ventilated area. Keep fire and spark

away. Failure to do so will result in death

or serious injury.

(000166)

DANGER

Do not overfill fuel tank. Fill to 1/2 in. of top of tank to

allow for fuel expansion. Overfilling may cause fuel to

spill onto engine causing fire or explosion, which will

result in death or serious injury.
