OPERATION
receptacle will cease. The red light on the DC panel
will illuminate. If the DC overload fuse continues to
blow, discontinue charging and see your authorized
Polaris generator dealer. The overload fuse does not
prevent overcharging the battery. The fuse is located
to the left of the receptacle and is accessed by
snapping open the access door. Replace the fuse
with one of the same capacity. Using a higher rated
fuse may cause damage to the generator alternator.
Disconnecting the Battery Charging Cable:
1. Stop the generator.
2. Disconnect the black lead of the battery charging
cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and then
the lead from the positive (+) battery terminal.
3. Unplug the battery charging cable from the DC
receptacle (A).
4. Connect the vehicle battery ground cable to the
negative (-) battery terminal.
Air Conditioning Operation
For best results, the SMART throttle switch should be in
the off position. Bring the generator to a normal operating
temperature before applying the air conditioning load. Al-
ways allow a 2 minute wait period when manually cycling
an air conditioner off and on. A longer wait period may be
required under unusually hot weather conditions. Addi-
tionally, all other loads should be turned off until the air
conditioner has started and is performing normally. It is
also important to follow the air conditioner manufacturer's
instructions for starting and restarting for proper opera-
tion. Some air conditioner manufacturers offer a start ca-
pacitor as an extra cost option. The lack of a start
capacitor can cause the air conditioner to draw too high a
starting current and overload the generator. Contact your
air conditioner dealer if you consistently have problems
starting your air conditioner with the generator. This gen-
erator is not generally recommended for air conditioners
exceeding 13,500 BTUs
SMART Throttle System
With the SMART throttle switch in the ON position, engine
speed is automatically lowered when loads are reduced,
turned off, or disconnected. When devices are turned on
or connected, the engine returns to the proper speed to
power the electrical load. When the smart throttle is in the
OFF position, the engine runs at rated load RPM.
Appliances with large start-up power demands may not
allow the engine to reach normal operating RPM when
they are connected to the generator. Position the SMART
throttle switch to OFF and connect the device to the
generator. If the engine still will not reach normal
operating speed, ensure the device does not exceed the
rated load capacity of the generator.
If high electrical loads are simultaneously connected,
position the SMART throttle switch to OFF to reduce
voltage changes.
The SMART throttle system is not effective for use with
devices or appliances requiring only momentary power. If
the device or appliance will be quickly turned on and off,
the SMART throttle switch should be in the OFF position.
When using the DC output, position the SMART throttle
switch to OFF.
