Substantial overloading will switch off the circuit breaker.
Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or
slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but
will shorten the service life of the generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
In either case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must be
considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information near
the model number or serial number.
4) AC Operation
○
1
. Start the engine (refer to page 21).
○
2
. Switch the AC circuit breaker ON.
○
3
. Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated wattage for startup.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit
causes the AC circuit breaker to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit,
wait a few minutes and then reset the circuit breaker.
5) DC OPERATION
DC Terminals
The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries.
The terminals are colored red to identify the positive (+) terminal and black to identify
the negative (-) terminal. The battery must be connected to the generator DC terminals
with the proper polarity (battery positive to generator red terminal and battery negative
to the generator black terminal).
