Operation
Step 3: Generator Start Up
NOTICE Always have QPT switch OFF (0) when starting or
stopping generator or when using DC USB ports.
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the
following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface.
NOTICE Failure to operate the unit on a level surface may
cause the unit to shut down.
2. Pull choke control out to close choke (

3. Turn engine switch to ON (I) position.
4. Grasp recoil starter handle and pull slowly until slight
resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly once to start engine.
5. Open choke gradually as engine warms up by pushing
in on choke handle.
NOTICE If engine fails to start, push choke control in and
repeat step 4. If engine starts but fails to run, see Low Oil
Indicator in Oil and Fuel.
Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads

Using Extension Cords

Use only grounded extension cords marked for outdoor
use rated for your loads. Follow cord safety instructions.
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE For generator output required see Generator
Capacity. Connect electrical loads in off position then turn
on for operation.
Power Use
The power use monitor indicates the percentage of total
generator load using 4 LED's. The first green LED indicates
the generator is operating normally or producing more than
25% load. The second green LED comes on after 50% load
is reached. The yellow LED comes on after 75% load is
reached. The red LED flashes when load reaches 100%.
Overload Reset
If the generator is overloaded, the red 100% load LED
illuminates and cuts power to the receptacles. You
must turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Press the
OVERLOAD RESET button on the generator control panel
and then plug in and restart electrical loads one at a time to
continue in normal operating mode.

Ground Fault Protection

The duplex receptacles are equipped with Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. The GFCI protects
against electrical shock that may be caused if your body
becomes a path which electricity travels to reach ground.
When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but
the GFCI is intended to cut current off quickly enough so
that a person in normal health should not suffer any serious
electrical injury.
conductor at the same time could cause electrical shock
or burn, even if the circuit is GFCI protected.
Testing the GFCI
Test your GFCI outlet prior to each use, as follows:
• Push the "Test" button. The "Reset" button should pop
• Press the "Reset" button firmly until it is fully in place
• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test the

and locks in that position. If the GFCI outlet does
not reset properly, do not use the outlet. Call or take
your generator to a local Briggs & Stratton authorized
service dealer.
