Do you know anything about the red overload light? Mine flashes when loading gets over 1700VA and flashes faster as you load more. If load reduced some (but still over 1700), flashing slows down. Reduce to below 1700 and red stops with green on. Nothing about that in the owner's manual.

If way overloaded, the 120v is cut off and the red light stays on steady, with the engine running at a lower idle. (Inverter disconnected I guess)

Then once you unplug the load and reset the 120v circuit breaker, the engine speeds up to normal again and green light on. This part is in the owner's manual.

I want to run the gen at just over 1700VA which means with the red light flashing, but it worries me that it is flashing.

In Canadian dollars it might be a good deal. In U.S. dollars it isn’t. Current exchange about 1.33 to one?

Those are great stores. Wish they'd move in down here.

You will get there! I have it on good authority that Heaven is actually an infinitely large Can Tire store! Saint Peter is the "Greeter". You go to Aisle 3 to get your wings, and Aisle 5 has your harp.

Now the big pay-off, is you go to Aisle 6 and get extra special chrome wheels for your harp and you can get rainbow coloured strings for your harp in Aisle 7.

You can find your Woody-Woodpecker decals for your harp for yourself! You will have plenty of time to look around1 :)
