Manual Insert
START position . And stopping the engine, push the switch to the position OFF ( O )
position or turn the key to STOP position.
4. AC circuit breaker.
The receptacle is protected by an AC circuit breaker. If the generator is overloaded or
an external short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all
electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before attempting to use
the generator again. If overloading causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load.
5. 12VDC battery charging receptacle.
This generator contains an additional circuit for battery charging purposes. A DC
receptacle provided on the control panel. Pay more attention to the positive (+) mark
and negative (-) mark on the panel. The amount of current flowing will depend on the
charging voltage and battery’s state of charge. As the battery becomes more fully
charged, the output current to the battery decreases and nearly becomes constant. If
the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charging cable from the battery. Normally a
period of 30 to 120 minutes is sufficient to recharge a weak battery. The charge level of
the battery should be checked periodically.
6. DC circuit breaker.
The DC receptacle is protected by circuit breaker. The maximum current available
from the changer circuit is 8 amps. If the generator is overloaded or short circuit occur,
the breaker will trip.
7. Power on light.
The light is used to indicate the AC output.
8. Oil warning light
When the oil level reduced to a lower level, the oil warning will flash until the engine
stops automatically. New oil will be added into the crankcase before starting the engine
again.
9. Ground terminal.
A ground terminal connected with the generator and appropriate earth ground to help
prevent electric shock.
10. Electric starter over current protector.
It can trip if the battery current abnormally.
Note: Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause damage to generator
or equipment.
The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.
CAUTION
The battery charging system is intended to recharge weak batteries, not to
“ boost start ” vehicles. Do not overcharge battery or leave battery unattended.
Note: When the battery charger circuit breaker is in use, the AC capacity is reduced by
100 watts. Make sure the combined load is within the rated limits.
Before charging a storage battery, check the electrolyte fluid level in all the cells. Add
distilled water to each cell, if necessary, to bring the level back up to the manufacturer’s
required level.
WARNING
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas while charging. Do
not allow smoking, open flames, sparks, or spark producing equipment
in the area while charging.
Connect a red clip to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect a black clip to the
negative terminal of the battery. Connect the other end of the cable to the DC receptacle
on the generator panel. After the battery is fully charged, remove the battery charging
