3. Localize a tampa/vareta de medição do nível de óleo.
4. Using the provided funnel, slowly add 0.35 liters (approximately 11.8 fl oz) of 10W-30 engine oil. Do not overfill.
5. Replace the oil fill cap/dipstick and secure the side panel.

4.2 Adição de Combustível

Use somente gasolina nova e sem chumbo com octanagem 87 ou superior.

1. Certifique-se de que o gerador esteja desligado e frio.
2. Desaparafuse a tampa do combustível.
3. Insert the provided gas funnel into the fuel tank opening.
4. Carefully pour gasoline into the tank, ensuring not to overfill. The tank capacity is 1.1 gallons (4 liters).
5. Recoloque a tampa do tanque de combustível firmemente.

4.3 Initial Start Procedure

Siga estes passos para a primeira inicialização:

1. Certifique-se de que o gerador esteja em uma superfície externa nivelada, longe de quaisquer obstruções.
2. Turn the 3-in-1 switch to the 'Start' position.
3. Puxe a alavanca de arranque retrátil firmemente até o motor ligar.
4. Once the engine starts, slowly move the 3-in-1 switch to the 'Run' position.

• Three-in-one Digital Panel: Exibe Voltage (V), Frequency (Hz), Single operation time (R), and Cumulative operation time (H). Press 'MODE' to switch display categories.
• Indicador de alarme de CO: Lights up if carbon monoxide is detected, shutting down the generator for safety.
• Oil Alarm Indicator: Indica nível baixo de óleo.
• Indicador de falha: Signals a general fault or overload.
• Indicador de execução: Shows when the generator is operating normally.
• Reiniciar CA: Button to reset the AC circuit breaker.
• Idle Switch (ECO mode): Engages Eco-Mode for fuel efficiency.
• AC Sockets (120V): For connecting standard electrical devices.
• USB Output (USB-A & USB-C): Para carregar dispositivos eletrônicos.
• Terminal de aterramento: Para conectar um fio terra.
• Portas de operação paralela: Para conectar dois geradores em paralelo.

5.2 Eco-Mode Operation

Engage Eco-Mode by switching the Idle Switch to 'ON'. In Eco-Mode, the engine speed automatically adjusts to the load, reducing fuel consumption and noise levels. This is ideal for powering smaller appliances or maintaining a charge.

5.3 Conexão de Dispositivos Elétricos

The generator provides clean power (THD <3%), safe for sensitive electronics.

• Plug your 120V devices into the AC outlets.
• Use the USB-A or USB-C ports to charge phones, laptops, drones, and cameras.
• Garanta o valor totaltagA potência dos dispositivos conectados não excede a potência de funcionamento.tage (1800W) to prevent overload.

5.4 Operação Paralela

For increased power output, two Redact 2400W inverter generators can be connected in parallel using a compatible parallel kit (sold separately). This can provide up to 3200W of running power.

1. Ensure both generators are off and on a level surface.
2. Connect the parallel cables to the designated parallel ports on both generators.
3. Start both generators according to the standard starting procedure.
4. Once both are running, you can connect devices to the parallel kit's outlets.
