Powersmart Mode; Charging A Battery; Don't Overload Generator - Mosa GE 2000 BI Manuel D'emploi Et Entretien

PowersMart Mode

This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy and reduce noise. when
this switch is turned on (i), the engine speed will increase as electrical loads are
connected, and decreased as electrical loads are removed.
with the switch off (o), the engine will run at full governed speed.
NOTICE Always have the switch OFF when starting or stopping the generator or
when using the DC receptacle.

charging a Battery Figure
Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged 12 Volt automotive
or utility style storage battery. The maximum current available for the battery
charge circuit is 5 Amps. A DC circuit breaker protects this outlet from overloads. If
an overload occurs, the circuit breaker will trip (push button pops out). Wait a few
minutes and push the button in to reset the circuit breaker.
NOTICE When using the battery charge circuit, turn the POWERSMART switch to
the off position (o).
NOTICE
• Not for use with any other type of battery.
• DO NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries.
• DO NOT use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
warning Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during
recharging. Hydrogen gas stays near battery for a long time
after battery has been charged. Slightest spark could ignite
hydrogen causing explosion resulting in death, serious injury
and/or property damage.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely caustic. Contact with battery
fluid could cause chemical burns resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during and for several
minutes after charging a battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.
• DO NOT continue to charge a battery that becomes hot or is fully charged.
• DO NOT leave battery unattended.
to recharge 12 volt batteries, proceed as follows:
1. If necessary, clean battery posts or terminals.
2. Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled water to
cover separators in battery cells. do not use tap water.
3. If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are installed and are
tight.
4. Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to battery post or terminal
indicated by Positive, Pos or (+).
5. Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to battery post or terminal
indicated by negative, neg, or (–).
6. Connect battery charge cable connector plug to the 12 Volt DC panel receptacle.
7. Start generator as described in Starting The Engine. Let the engine run while
battery recharges.
NOTICE Normally a period of 30 to 120 minutes is sufficient to recharge a weak battery.
8. When battery has charged, shut down engine as described in Stopping The Engine.
9. Remove the battery charging cable from the generator and then disconnect
from the battery posts.
NOTICE Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state of charge and condition.
Follow the hydrometer manufacturer's instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured
by hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.

don't overload generator

capacity
You must make sure your generator can supply enough rated (running) and surge
(starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
1. Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items. This is the amount of power your
generator must produce to keep your items running. See Wattage Reference
Guide.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need. Surge wattage is the
short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances
such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same
time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with the
highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2.

Window Fan
Deep Freezer

Power Management
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, it is important to take care
when adding electrical loads to your generator. There should be nothing connected to
the generator outlets before starting its engine. The correct and safe way to manage
generator power is to sequentially add loads as follows:
1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as described in this
manual.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and attached
device operates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
NEVER add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to consider
surge loads in generator capacity, as described above.
