SAFETY WARNING
Personal and property safeties of you and others are very vital. Please read the Safety
Warning in the User's Manual and the decals of the generator set carefully.The Safety
Warning can alert you to those potential hazards that could harm you and others. In front
of each Safety Warning, there is one of four words "DANGER" "WARNING",
"ATTENTION", and "CAREFUL". Details are as follows:
Failure to follow the instruction will result in being
in peril of your life or extremely serious injury.
Failure to follow the instruction will result in being
in peril of your life or very serious injury.
Failure to follow the instruction will result in minor
injury.
Failure to follow the instruction will result in the
damage to your generator set and other properties.
For portable generators where the neutral is floating, the operator's manual shall include the following wording or
equivalent:
The portable generator stator winding is isolated from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin; and
Electrical devices that require a connection between one conductor pin and the grounded receptacle pin may not
function properly.
NEUTRAL FLOATING
CO DETECT technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by
engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Sensor detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it
automatically shuts off the engine. CO Sensor is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe
operation. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other
openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings with engine exhaust
pointed away from people and buildings. Meets the requirements of ANSI/PGMA G300-2018.

TIP
Remote Control Key Dormancy
When generator stops running for 5 days (120hours), while the main switch is not turned off, the remote
control key cannot be used to start the generator again. At this time, you need to turn off the main switch
and turn it on again, or press the one-key start button (or hand start) to start the generator, and the remote
control key will be reactivated.
Parallel Operation
The parallel connection ports allow you to connect two generators to increase the total available electrical power.
Follow the instructions included with your parallel connection kit for proper installation and operation.
Overload Indicator
Note: The OVERLOAD light may turn on for a few seconds as a large device starts. This is normal for loads
approaching the capacity of this generator.
1. The total combined load through the outlets on the generator must not exceed the running power of the unit.
2. If the OVERLOAD light turns on and the generator stops producing power, it has been overloaded.
15
STARTING UP THE GENERATOR
Low Oil Indicator
1. If the engine oil level is too low, the LOW OIL light turns on and the engine will automatically shut off.
2. The engine cannot be restarted until the proper amount of oil has been added. Add the appropriate type of oil
until the oil level is at the proper level. SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended for general use.
Do not run the engine with too little oil. Engine will shut off if engine oil level is too low.
Low Idle
1. Turn on a Low Idle Switch to limit noise and fuel consumption with a light generator load.
2. Turn off the low idle mode to run the engine at full speed under the following conditions:
● Starting the generator.
● If the load exceeds 50%, it is recommended to turn off the low idle mode.
ATTENTION
3. Turn off and disconnect all electrical devices and stop the engine. Compare device requirements to generator
rating and reduce the total wattage of connected devices if necessary. Move anything that may be limiting
generator ventilation away.
4. Check if any circuit breakers have tripped and make sure that ALL circuit breakers are reset before starting the
generator again.
5. Restart the engine and reconnect devices while being careful to not overload the generator.

USING THE GENERATOR
Service Environment of the Generator
1
• Applicable temperature: -5°C~ 40°C;
• Applicable humidity: below 95%;
• Applicable altitude: regions below 1,500 m (It shall be used by reducing power in regions above 1,000 m).
Standard atmospheric condition
• Ambient temperature Tr: 298k (25°C)
• Relative air humidity Фr: 30%
• Absolute atmospheric pressure Pr: 100kPa
When actual environmental condition is inconsistent with the condition of output power of the generator
set:
• Every 5°C of increase in ambient temperature will reduce the power of generator by about 2%.
• Every 30% of increase in relative humidity of air will reduce the power of generator by about 1.5%.
• Every 300 m rising of ASL will reduce the power the generator by about 4.5%.
Generator Wiring
2
• When the generator is connected to household power source as a backup power supply, the connection shall be
carried out by a professional electrician or a person familiar with electricity.
• After connecting the load to the generator, check carefully whether electrical connection is safe and reliable.
Improper electrical connection may cause generator damage, burning or fire.
• Avoid connecting this generator to commercial power outlet.
• When extending the cable, be sure not to exceed its length.
① 60m cross-section area is 1.5mm²
② 100m cross-section area is 2.5mm²
• The appearance of extension cable shall be protected by a layer of tough and elastic rubber cover (IEC25) or
other substitutes.

USING THE GENERATOR
Connection of AC power
WARNING
All electrical equipment shall be disconnected before inserting the plug.
ATTENTION
• Make sure that all electrical equipment, including wires and plugs, are in good condition before
connecting to the generator;
• Make sure that all loads driven by the generator are within rated load range;
• Make sure that load current is within rated current range of rated socket.
Tip: Make sure that the generator set is grounded, and if electrical equipment requires
grounding, the generator set must be grounded.
① Start up the engine;
② Turn energy-saving switch to "ON";
③ Insert the plug into AC outlet;
④ Make sure that AC indicator is lit up;
⑤ Switch on electrical equipment.
Tip: Before increasing engine speed, energy-
saving switch must be switched to "OFF". If the
generator set supplies power to multi loads or
electrical equipment, start from large to small
according to the size of each electrical
equipment.
Generator Grounding
3
① Please use grounding wire with sufficient electrical energy capacity;
② Connect one end of grounding wire reliable to grounding bolt on control panel
of the generator set;
③ Insert grounding body (iron rod with a diameter of 5 ~ 10mm) 200mm below
into the earth and lead it out with conductor;
④ Connect the other end of the grounding wire reliable to the led wire of
grounding body.
In order to prevent any damage to the generator caused by electric shock or improper electrical application, it is
recommended that the generator is grounded with good conductor with insulating sheath.
Tip: How to change the grounding method please refer to the website: https://www.genmaxpower.com/page/faq

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, AND GENERATOR AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE:
1. Follow Parallel Kit instructions provided with Kit for connection and use of a Parallel Kit.
2. Only connect two identical Inverter Generators together using a Parallel Kit.
3. Connect Parallel Kit only to terminals marked "Parallel Outlets" on the front of the Generator.
4. Do not remove or connect a Parallel Kit while the Generator is running.
5. Do not use a Parallel Kit that is attached to only one Generator.
In parallel, the two generators should be connected to two fuel tanks. You cannot use the same tank
to fuel two generators.
Connecting Automatic Start/Stop Devices
5
GM1600WH is connected to the generator and automatically starts the generator to charge it when the power
station's electricity level is below 30%; When the power station reaches 100%, the generator will automatically
stop running.
Connect GM1600WH
20
USING THE GENERATOR
Connect the charger to the battery charging port on
the generator panel and connect the mains to
charge the battery.
Tip: The charging time is about 30-40 minutes.
Hand start charging: Start the generator by hand, and the battery will be charged automatically when the
generator runs.
Use an external power source for charging:
Do not start the generator while charging with an external power supply. Keep
batteries away from fire sources. Keep the battery in a cool and dry place, away from
direct sunlight. Keep batteries away from children.
ATTENTION
1. Charge properly
Keeping battery properly charged and discharged can prolong battery life. Maintaining a power level of 10%-
90% in battery is beneficial for battery protection.
2. Choose the appropriate charging temperature
Battery charging temperature range: 0-45℃.
