I have some 12 volt LED flood lights I would like to hook up to my 24 volt MEP802.

The switch I am referring to is the one that selects the Phase and legs you want to use. (sorry i don't know it's name).
I did look thought he TM's but I didn't see anything that popped out at me.
It is this one circled here. (not my gen just example of the switch).

With the load hooked up the short-circuit light come on as soon as the gen circuit is turned on.
I'll go through the TM's...
