Grounding Types
Grounding Type
Vehicle Type
Neutral floating: The neutral of the invertergenerator is isolated from system ground.
Gas
Neutral bonded: The neutral of the invertergenerator is bonded to system ground.
Connecting loads that also have neutral bonded to ground will cause the ground fault detection to trip.
HEV
Note: If additional grounding measures are
required, consult with a qualified electrician.

PRECAUTIONS - VEHICLES
WITH: 2.4KW/7.2KW WARNING: Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start
the engine. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death. WARNING: Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes. WARNING:
Do not connect any
vehicle power outlets to any premises,
including buildings or recreational
vehicles. This can create a backfeed to
utility lines. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in damage to the
vehicle, fire, electrical shock or death. WARNING:
The vehicle's engine
runs while the generator is switched on.
Running engines emit carbon monoxide.
Only use the generator when the vehicle
is outdoors. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
Note: The gasoline engine may start and
stop to provide power when the outlet is
switched on.
Note: We recommend using UL approved
devices for use with the power outlet.
Note: Unplug electrical devices from the
power outlet when they are not switched
on.
Note: The climate control system may turn
on and power may be limited during extreme
hot or cold temperatures to optimize the
performance of the system.
Note: When the outlet is switched on and
the vehicle is in Park (P) the engine turns
off 30 minutes after the low fuel warning is
displayed. After the vehicle is turned off,
generator mode only operates while driving
or until the vehicle is refueled.

SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL -
GASOLINE
Your vehicle operates on regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2
octane rating of 87.
Some fuel stations, particularly those in
high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as
regular unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating below 87. The use of these fuels
could result in engine damage that will not
be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
For best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well
as other conditions, for example when
towing a trailer. See Towing a Trailer
(page 428).
Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact
an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.
We recommend Top Tier detergent
gasolines, where available to help minimize
engine deposits and maintain optimal
vehicle and engine performance.
For additional information, visit
www .t op tier g a s. c om .Note:
Use of any fuel for which the vehicle
was not designed can impair the emission
control system, cause loss of vehicle
performance, and cause damage to the
engine which may not be covered by the
vehicle Warranty.
Do not use:
• Diesel fuel.
• Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
• Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.
• Fuels containing methanol.
• Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.
• Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
• Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.
The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl, which is a
manganese-based fuel additive, will impair
engine performance and affect the
emission control system.
SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL
FOR COLD WEATHER - DIESEL
Choosing the Right Fuel: Vehicles
Operated Where Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel Fuel Is Required (United
States/Canada/Puerto Rico/U.S.
Virgin Islands And Other Locales)
Note: Your Warranty will not cover damage
caused by using an improper type of fuel or
fuel additive.
