2.1.1 BATTERY CONNECTION

NOTE:

The battery shipped with the generator has been fully charged.

A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for

prolonged periods of time. If the battery is unable to crank

the engine, plug in the 12V charger included in the accessory

box (see the Charging the Battery section). RUNNING THE

GENERATOR DOES NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY.

The positive battery wire was deliberately left detached for

shipping. To operate the unit, attach this wire to the terminal on

the starter motor as shown. Do not overtighten. Slide the attached

rubber boot over the starter terminal. See Figure 4.

2.2 HOURMETER - NO RESET

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled

maintenance:

There will be a one time break in "CHG OIL" message that flashes

with the elapsed time in hours and tenths after the first 30 hours

of operation.

This message will actually begin flashing at 29 hours and disable

itself at 31 hours providing a two hour window to perform the

service.

There will be a subsequent "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours.

The message will flash one hour before and one hour after each

100 hour interval, again providing a two hour window to perform

service.

Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of

the display will flash. The message will flash one hour before and

one hour after each 200 hour interval providing a two hour window

to perform service.

When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance

message will always alternate with elapsed time in hours and

tenths. The hours will flash four times, then alternate with the

maintenance message four times until the meter resets itself.

• 100 hours - CHG OIL — Oil Change Interval (Every 100 hrs)

• 200 hours - SVC — Air Filter Interval (Every 200 hrs)

2.3 HOURMETER - WITH RESET

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled maintenance

(see chart) (Figure 5).

Operation: Push and release the reset button to toggle between

screens. The hours count backwards from the set interval as

shown in the chart.

When the meter reaches 5 hours,the text "CHG OIL" (or "SVC AIR

FILTER" or "CHG PLUG") will flash continually for two minutes.

After this time, the meter will go back to displaying the total hours

of the unit (for 2 minutes). This cyle will repeat for the entire 5

hours.

When the service interval reaches zero hours, the text "NOW"

replaces the hours remaining.

For a new generator for instance, the message will say "CHG OIL"

then flash "in 30". This means that in 30 hours, the oil will need to

be changed. Pressing the button a few more times will bring the

meter back to the screen that shows the total hours run.

Reset: Toggle to the alert that you wish to reset then hold the

button down for 9 seconds. The maintenance hours are reset when

the display shows "0000.0".

Note:

The hour glass graphic will flash on and off when the engine

is running. This signifies that the meter is tracking hours of

operation.
