OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
16
Before connecting any electrical load to the
generator ensure that the load does not exceed
the maximum load as stated on the rating plate.
Ensure that the mains supply lead is long
enough to reach the generator without any
strain.
When the generator engine has been
successfully started and is running smoothly
connect the electrical load to the generators AC
output socket.
ECONOMY CONTROL SWITCH (Fig.10)
On: Recommended to minimize fuel
consumption and further reduce noise levels
when no load is applied to the generator.
Off: The smart throttle system does not operate.
Engine speed varies with the load.
With the switch in the On position, the engine
speed is controlled automatically. The engine
speed is lowered when the load on the
generator is reduced, turned off or
disconnected. When loads are turned on or
re-connected, the engine returns to the correct
speed to power the connected load.
In the Off position the system does not operate.
The economy system also helps in fuel economy
and reduced noise levels when under no load
conditions.
When a load is connected to the generator, the
generator speed will automatically adjust in
order to supply enough power.
Appliances with large start-up power demands
may not allow the engine to reach normal
operating speed when they are connected to the
generator. Turn the economy switch to the Off
position and connect the appliance to the
generator. If the engine still will not reach normal
operating speed, check that the appliance does
not exceed the rated load capacity of the
generator.
AC OUTLET
Your generator is equipped with a 230V AC
power socket. This will run a range of devices
providing they are within the limits of the
generators output.
NOTE: The max (surge) power requirements of
some devices e.g. Fridges, Televisions, etc; can
be up to seven (7) times greater than their rated
(continuous) power. Do not over load your
generator. The devices wattage can be found on
the data label attached to the product.
A basic guide is listed opposite for some
common products. Do not exceed the limits of
your generator. For this generator never exceed
1000W in total.
YOUR GENERATOR AC LIMITS
Rated (continuous) power - COP 1.0kW
Max (surge) power - MAX 1.05kW S2 5min
Note: Long extension leads may reduce the
effectiveness of your generators supply power.
