When an electric motor is started, the "OVERLOAD" LED may
light up for up to five (5) seconds (this is normal). If it stays on,
a fault has occured. Remove all loads and shut down generator
to reset the alarm. Restart the generator. If the "OVERLOAD"
LED remains lit, contact a Generac Dealer for assistance.
USING THE FLEXPOWER™ SWITCH
When the accessories connected to the generator are going to
be used intermittently (such as a hand drill), the FlexPower™
switch can be pushed to the "ON" (I) position. This will lower the
generator engine speed when loads are not being applied, saving
fuel, reducing engine wear and extending runtime.
USING THE 12 VDC BATTERY
CHARGER
The 12 VDC receptacle may be used to recharge 12 VDC
automotive batteries only. The DC charging output is not regulated.
The circuit protector does not prevent over-charging a battery.
1. Connect the charging cable to the generator first, then the
battery, ALWAYS connecting the red lead to positive (+) and
the black to negative (-).
NOTE:

Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks
or any other source of heat around a battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron
and rubber gloves when working around
a battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is an
extremely corrosive sulfuric acid solution
that can cause severe burns. If a spill occurs,
flush area with clear water immediately.

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture
will remain around the battery for a long
time after it has been charged. The slightest
spark can ignite the hydrogen and cause an
explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the
battery and cause blindness or other serious
injury.
NEVER reverse the polarity when connecting
the battery terminals to the charging jack.
Severe damage may occur to the generator
and battery.
2. Keep the FlexPower™ switch in the "OFF" (O) position.
3. Start the generator and use it as normal. Charging time will
vary with battery size and condition. Check the voltage at the
battery terminals once the charging cable has been unplugged
or the generator has been shut down.
This receptacle can not recharge 6-Volt batteries
and can not be used to crank an engine having a
discharged battery.

SHUTTING DOWN

Once the generator is no longer needed it can be shut down.
1. Switch off any devices connected to the generator. Unplug any
cords to the 120 VAC duplex outlets or the 12 VDC plug.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" (O) position (Figure 7). A
switch behind the fuel valve grounds the ignition system,
stopping the engine and the fuel supply is shut off.
3. Close the vent on the fuel cap.
4. Allow the generator to cool before moving or storing.
Always allow the generator to cool off before
storing. High temperatures will be present
at the rear of the unit for some time after
shutdown.
