8. Allow generator to run at no load for few
minutes upon each initial start-up to permit
engine and generator to stablize.
Connecting Electrical Loads
This unit has been pretested and adjusted to
handle its full capacity. Before starting the
generator, disconnect all load. Apply load only
after generator is running. Voltage is regulated
via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for
correct output. Readjusting will void warranty.
CAUTION
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum
wattage rating of the generator when using one or
more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage
rating of any one receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in
period (the first five hours of operations).
1.Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting.
2.Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in
on position.
3.Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC,
single phase, 60Hz electrical loads. It is
better to attach the item with largest load first.
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company's power lines or to another power
source may be against the law. In addition this
action, if done incorrectly, could damage your
generator and appliances and could cause
serious injury or even death to you or a utility
worker who may be working on nearby power
lines. If you plan to run a portable electric
generator during an outage, please notify your
electric utility company immediately and
remember to plug your appliances directly into
the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company
English
power lines. You are responsible for ensuring
that your generator's electricity does not feed
back into the electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility
company or a qualified electrician. Connections
must isolate generator power from utility
power and must comply with all applicable laws
and codes.
Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in
order to minimize fuel consumption and noise
while operating the unit during times of reduced
electrical output, allowing the engine speed to
idle during periods of non-use. The engine speed
returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the
engine runs at normal speed continuously.
WARNING
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should
be turned OFF.
12V DC Outlet (Battery Charger)
The 12V DC outlet is ONLY to be used with the
supplied 12V battery charging cable. The DC
output is unregulated and will damage other
12V DC products.
The amount of current flowing will depend on the
charging voltage and battery's state of charge. As
the battery becomes more fully charged, the output
current to the battery decreases and nearly becomes
constant. Taper chargers are intended to be used
with the provision that they will be disconnected
from the battery after a maximum time on charge.
Normally a period of 30 to 120 minutes is sufficient
to recharge a weak battery. The charge level of the
battery should be checked periodically.
