Operation
(12) of the generator (Fig. X).
3 AC output sockets (12).
The connected individual appliances can now be switched on.
WARNING. Prior to connecting any appliance to the generator, check the
rating label of the appliance. The appliances connected to this generator
must indicate an input voltage of 220 - 240Va.c. The generator has a
rated value and is shown on the generator label, so if the addition of the
appliances being connected is higher than the rated value on the generator,
the protective cut out on the generator may operate to prevent over load
damage to the generator. The generator will withstand short operation and
spikes up to the peak value as shown on the generator label, but exceeding
this peak value will cause the generator to go into overload.
NOTE: The values as indicated on the appliances rating label will show rated
wattages and does not include start up power.
Overload condition
If the AC side of the generator is overloaded, the red load status indicator
(8) LED will illuminate. The generator will continue to supply 240V output
for a short time, but if the load is not reduced, the 240V supply will be
automatically shut down.
For details on the various conditions of overload refer to pages 14 and 24.
To reset an over load condition, shut down the motor of the generator BUT
ENSURE to follow the procedure on page 23 “Stopping the engine”. Restart
the engine after the load being applied to the generator has been reduced.
Carbon build up
Carbon build up can be a problem on generators as the loading on the
engine can vary considerably. Running the generator at low loading for
extended periods can cause carbon build up.
Carbon build up in the engine can be reduced by operating the generator
at approximately 75% of rated load for 25% of the time the generator is
used. i.e, if the generator is used for 4 hours on low load i.e 800W or less,
run the generator for 1 hour at around 75% of rating. This is only required
if the generator has been used for less than 25% of rated load for extended
periods. i.e 2 hrs or more.
NOTE: Use unleaded fuel without ethanol.
