Battery Installation; Generator Capacity - Craftsman 919.679580 Manuel Du Propriétaire

RECEPTACLES
Your generator is equipped with 120-volt duplex recep-
tacles, a 120-volt twistlock receptacle and a 120/240-volt
twistlock receptacle.
The unit is equipped with a 15-amp circuit breaker for the
120-volt duplex receptacles and two 25-amp circuit break-
ers for the 120-volt twistlock and for the 120/240-volt
twistlock receptacle. These circuit breakers are provided
to protect the generator against electrical overload. If the
circuit breaker trips, unplug all electrical loads from the
generator. Let the circuit breaker cool down. Push circuit
breaker button to reset.
FULL POWER SWITCH
Your Craftsman generator has a full power switch on the
control panel. This switch has two positions: 120 VOLT
ONLY, and 120/240 VOLT.
120 Position
When placed in the 120 position, (shown below) every re-
ceptacle on the panel will be converted to a 120 volt recep-
tacle. 240-volt power is not available. This position allows
full capacity of the generator to be received by using all
120-volt receptacles. While in the 120 position, each re-
ceptacle has the ability to reach the maximum 7500 surge
wattage for inductive motors that require 7500 watts or be-
low to start.
120V
120/240 Position
When in the 120/240 position, (shown below) only half of
the 5800 watts can be received when using the 120-volt
receptacles and the 120/240-volt twistlock receptacle will
be converted to allow the full 5800 watts to be received
from this one receptacle. Also in this position, the 120-volt
receptacles will only reach a maximum of 3750 surge watts.
120V
IMPORTANT: Do not move the full power switch while
powering electrical equipment. Unplug all items before
moving the switch. Failure to do so can damage the switch.

Battery Installation

To obtain electric start capability, you must install a (12
volt – 45 A.H.) battery. The battery should be properly
serviced and fully charged prior to installation.
Install the battery as follows:
•
Place battery in rack with terminals facing towards
generator head.
•
Place battery bracket over battery as shown (oppo-
site battery terminals).
•
Connect black battery cable from battery post
indicated with NEGATIVE (-) to frame with bolt as
shown below.
•
Connect red battery cable from battery post indi-
cated with POSITIVE, (+) to right post on starter
solenoid.
