BE BE2800i BE4000i User manual

  • Hello! I've analyzed the provided operator's manual for the BE Power Equipment BE2800i and BE4000i power generators. This manual includes detailed instructions on setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The units feature eco-mode, a carbon monoxide alarm, multiple outlets and parallel connectors. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about these generators and their operation!
  • What type of fuel should I use?
    What kind of oil should I use?
    How often should I change the oil?
    What should I do if the carbon monoxide alarm activates?
    What should I do if the reset switch trips?
