70143 Dual Fuel Inverter Generator

Product Information

The product is a generator that provides electrical power in
emergency situations or when there is no access to a power source.
It has a rated wattage of 3600 (LPG) or 3900 (gasoline) and a
maximum rated wattage of 5000. The generator has various outlets
and features, including AC circuit breakers, AC receptacles, a
ground terminal, a DC circuit breaker, a fuel cap, a fuel gauge, an
LPG/Propane inlet, a fuel selector switch, a USB port, a digital
display, a starter handle, and parallel ports.

The generator should be positioned outside before use and all
electrical loads should be unplugged. It is important to note that
using the generator indoors can be fatal due to the carbon monoxide
present in the exhaust. The generator should not be used in
trailers, truck beds, tents, or inside homes or garages. It should
be used at least 20 feet away from people, animals, and structures
with the exhaust pointed away.

Product Usage Instructions

Before plugging in any equipment, check the total start-up
watts amount. This can be done by following the wattage estimate
table provided.
To check the wattage amount:
1. Add up the running watts for all items you would like to use at
  any given time.
2. Make sure that this total is under the rated wattage of the
  generator (3600 for LPG or 3900 for gasoline).
3. Find the single highest starting watts for the selected items
  and add it to the total.
4. Make sure that this total is under the maximum rated wattage of
  the generator (5000).
Plug in and turn on products from largest wattage to
smallest.

Note: The wattage estimates provided in the wattage estimate
chart are for reference only. Check the nameplate wattages on all
loads before connecting them to the generator.

If any circuit breakers trip during use:

Reset all circuit breakers before starting the generator
again.
Adjust the plugs so that the loads are evenly distributed over
outlet circuits.

It is crucial to read the manual before using the generator to
prevent serious injury.
