3. Oppsett

3.1 Initial Setup (Oil and Fuel)

1. Place the generator on a firm, level surface.
2. Fjern oljepåfyllingslokket/peilepinnen.
3. Using the provided oil funnel, carefully add the included engine oil (SAE 5W-30) to the engine crankcase until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
4. Sett oljepåfyllingslokket/peilepinnen godt på plass.
5. Skru av drivstofflokket.
6. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline (minimum 87 octane) up to the fill line, ensuring not to overfill. The tank capacity is approximately 1.0 gallon.
7. Sett tanlokket godt på plass.

3.2 Koble til enheter

The GP2500i features multiple outlets for connecting various devices:

• Two 120V AC outlets (max 18.3A)
• One 12V DC 8A outlet
• One USB 2.1A port

Sørg for at den totale wattagstrømforbruket til tilkoblede enheter overstiger ikke generatorens driftsvannforbruktage på 2200W.

4. Drift

4.1 Starte generatoren

1. Sørg for at generatoren har tilstrekkelig olje og drivstoff.
2. Turn the integrated Off/Run/Choke Knob to the 'Choke' position for cold starts. For warm starts, turn to 'Run'.
3. Pull the recoil start handle firmly and steadily until the engine starts.
4. Once the engine starts, slowly move the knob from 'Choke' to 'Run' as the engine warms up.
5. Plug in your electrical devices.

4.2 Økonomimodus

Activate the Economy Mode switch to allow the generator to automatically adjust engine speed based on the load. This reduces fuel consumption and noise when full power is not required.

4.3 Parallell drift

The GP2500i is Parallel Ready, allowing you to connect two identical units for double the power output. A Generac parallel kit (sold separately) is required for this functionality. Follow the instructions provided with the parallel kit for proper connection.

4.4 Stopp av generatoren

1. Koble fra alle elektriske belastninger fra generatoren.
2. Turn the integrated Off/Run/Choke Knob to the 'Off' position.

5. Sikkerhetsretningslinjer

DANGER: Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.

• Kun utendørs bruk: NEVER use the generator inside a home, garage, or any enclosed space, even if doors and windows are open. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
• Riktig plassering: Maintain a minimum distance of 5 feet (1.5m) from all objects.
• Fueling Safety: Do not fill the fuel tank above the lip or while the engine is running. Always allow room for fuel expansion.
• Varme overflater: The generator's exhaust and engine components become very hot during operation. Avoid contact to prevent burns.
• Les manualen: Always read and understand the entire owner's manual before operating the generator to ensure safe and proper use.

• Motorolje: Check engine oil level before each use. Change oil according to the schedule in the owner's manual.
• Gnistfanger: Clean the spark arrestor every 50 hours of operation to prevent engine damage.
• Luftfilter: Inspiser og rengjør luftfilteret regelmessig. Skift ut hvis det er skadet.
• Tennplugg: Inspect and clean the spark plug periodically. Replace if necessary.

7. Feilsøking
