2OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT
The overload indicator light comes on when an overload of a connected electrical device is
detected, the inverter unit overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. The electronic breaker will then
activate, stopping power to the generation in order to protect the generator and any connected
electric devices. The AC pilot light (green) will turn off and the overload indicator light (red) will turn
on, but the engine will not stop running. As the engine overloads the overload indicator light(red)
with turn on. Allowing you to turn off the power too appliances. After twenty seconds the overload
indicator light will turn off and the generator will begin to run again. If the generator is still
overloaded the overload indicator light with turn on once again. If this process happens a total of
three times the engine will completely turn off. If so please follow the following steps
(a) Turn off any connected electric devices and stop the engine
(b) Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the application range.
(c) Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control unit. If any blockages are
found, remove.
