STARTING THE INVERTER
BEFORE STARTING THE INVERTER,
REVIEW SAFETY SECTION STARTING
ON PAGE 5.
For proper starting and operation of the inverter,
make sure you review the inverter features and their
descriptions starting on page 8.
Before attempting to start the inverter, verify the
following:
• The engine is lled with engine oil (see Figure 4:
Engine Oil Correct Level on page 13).
• The inverter is situated in a proper location (see
Location Selection on page 11).
• The inverter is on a dry surface (see Weather and Dry
Surface on page 11).
• All loads are disconnected from the inverter (see No
Connected Loads on page 11).
• The inverter is properly grounded (see Grounding the
Inverter on page 11)
DANGER
Never use the inverter in a location
that is wet or damp. Never expose
the inverter to rain, snow, water
spray or standing water while in use.
Protect the inverter from all hazardous
weather conditions. Moisture or ice
can cause a short circuit or other
malfunction in the electrical circuit.
Never operate the inverter in an
enclosed area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide. Only
operate the inverter outside and away
from windows, doors and vents.
