5. STARTING THE GENERATOR

5.1 Remove all loads from AC outlet.
5.2.1 Set the AC breaker to "ON". (B7)
5.2.2 Electrical direct current connector (DC)
This function is provided to charge 12V batteries
(external).
Charge batteries only when they are taken out.
- Check, if the 12V overload protection is pressed
(DC Reset)
- Make sure the generator is not in operation,
and connect the battery.
- Pay attention to the polarity of the cable (RED=
+(plus), BLACK = -(minus)), and the polarity of
the battery.
- Make sure to read the notes on charging of the
battery manufacturer!
After the generator is connected (connection
of battery and insertion of charging plug into
12V outlet of generator), it can be started and
the battery can be charged. When the charging
process is completed, first switch off the
generator, and then disconnect the battery.
Pay attention to sufficient ventilation, because
flammable gasses are generated while charging
the battery, and keep away from ignition sources
(smoking, fire, open light,...). Wear acid-proof
gloves and safety goggles to protect yourself
against accumulator acid which might leak out.
