5.5 DC application
The DC receptacle may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries only.
Output voltage is 15-30V, current is 8.3A, when current receptacle on load.
Do not use to power any DC appliance or motor.
5.1 AC applications
1. Start the engine and make sure the output indicator light (green) comes on.
2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off, and plug in the appliance.
See Fig.13.
Fig.13. Connecting the lode
CAUTION
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator light (red)
may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the
overload indicator light (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to
the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or
stops suddenly, turn off the generator engine switch immediately. Then disconnect
the appliance and examine it for signs of malfunction.
5.2 AC Load Management
The generator has the following receptacles:
1- 120V/20A 5-20R duplex
1- 120V/30A L5-30R
1- 240V/50A 14-50R
Simultaneous operation of 120 and 240 volt appliances are possible but the total
amperage of the applied loads cannot exceed the generator rating.

5.3 Output and Overload Indicators
Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and
that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. Then connect the
power cord of the appliance, and start the engine.
Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order,
and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. Then
connect the power cord of the appliance, and start the engine.
NOTE
When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light (red) and
the output indicator light (green) lights may go on simultaneously. This is
normal if the overload indicator light (red) goes off after about four(4) seconds.
If the overload indicator light (red) stays on, consult you dealer.

5.4 Smart Throttle
Engine speed is kept at idle automatically when the electrical load is disconnected
and it returns to the proper speed when the load is reconnected. This position is
recommended to minimize fuel consumption while in operation. See Fig. 14
Fig. 14 Smart Throttle Switch
NOTE
When high electrical load appliances are connected simultaneously. turn the
smart throttle switch to the OFF position to reduce voltage changes.
Smart throttle system does not operate sufficiently if the electrical appliance
requires the much electric power.
OFF:
Smart throttle system does not operate.
WARNING
To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, connect
charging cable first to the generator, then to the battery. Disconnect cable
first at the battery.
Before connecting the charging cable to a battery that is installed in a
vehicle, disconnect the vehicles grounded battery cable. Reconnect the
vehicle's grounded battery cable after the charging cables are removed.
This procedure will prevent the possibility of a short circuit and sparks if
you make accidental contact between a battery terminal and the vehicle's
frame or body.
1. Connect the charging cable to the DC receptacle of the generator and then to the
battery terminals.
