OPERATION
Ensure the combined electrical rating of the powered
device(s) do not exceed the maximum allowed by the
generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating
of the generator. Power levels between rated and
maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
DC Operation
Connecting the Battery Charging Cable:
The battery emits explosive hydrogen gas during
normal operation. A spark or flame can cause the
battery to explode with enough force to kill or cause
serious injury. Wear protective clothing and eye
protection when charging a battery.
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead components. Wash hands after
handling.
To prevent the possibility of creating sparks near the
battery, connect the charging cable first to the gener-
ator then to the battery. Disconnect the cable first at
the battery.
The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Con-
tact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear
protective clothing and a face shield. If electrolyte
gets on your skin, flush with water. If electrolytes get
in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes
and call a physician.
Electrolyte is poisonous. If swallowed, drink large
quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of
magnesia or vegetable oil and call a physician. Keep
out of reach of children.
The DC charging output is not regulated. The DC
receptacle should only be used for charging 12Vdc
batteries.
The DC output is to be used to charge batteries only.
Serious damage to the stator windings can occur if
connected to a DC motor or transformer.
This generator is not designed to operate DC motors.
Output voltage is 15-30V. DC output will vary according
to the position of the Smart throttle switch.
1. Disconnect the vehicle ground cable from the
negative (-) battery terminal.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the DC receptacle
(A).
3. Connect the red lead of the battery charging cable to
the positive (+) battery terminal and then the black
lead to negative (-) battery terminal. Do not reverse
the charging cables or serious damage to the
generator and/or battery may occur.
4. Start the generator.
The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is in
use.
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging
cable is connected and the generator is running. The
vehicle’s charging system or the generator may be
damaged.
NOTE: The DC receptacle is protected from an
overload with a fuse. If the DC circuit is overloaded,
the 5 amp fuse will blow and power to the DC
