4.6 Output and Overload Lights
The output indicator light (Green) will remain illuminated during normal operating conditions.
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 2000 W), or if there is a short in the connected appliance, the output
indicator light (Green) will go out, the overload indicator light (Red) will turn on and current to the connected
appliance will be shut off.
1. Remove all electrical loads from the generator and investigate the cause of the overload.
2. To reset the overload condition (Red light), stop and restart the generator. The (Green) indicator light should
be illuminated within 10 seconds.

Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload light (Red) may damage the
generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the overload light (Red) may
shorten the service life of the generator.
Before connecting or reconnecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good
order, and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.
When an electric motor is started, the overload indicator light (Red) may go on
momentarily while the output indicator light (Green) remains on. This is not a problem as
long as the overload light only flickers on briefly.
