various devices are too high. In this
event, decrease the number of small
devices until everything is functional.
The total drawn power should not
exceed the maximum output power
of the generator. Please see table 1-1
for technical specifications of what
the generator can output. In order to
reset the generator after overdrawn
power, let it sit for several minutes.
If the indication of the voltmeter is
too high or too low, adjust the speed
accordingly. If there are problems,
stop the generator immediately and
fix the issue.
5. Make sure you are operating your
generator in a well-ventilated area.
The generator should never be
covered with anything to prevent
overheating the generator.
2-6.3 Charging the Battery
1. For the electric starter generator,
the 12V battery is automatically
charged through the regulator on the
generator when it is running.
2. If the generator is not used for long
periods of time, the battery should
be disconnected to avoid energy loss
from the battery.
3. Do not connect the negative and
positive terminals of the battery
together at any time. Doing so will
damage the battery.
4. Do not reverse the polarities when
attaching the battery cables to the
battery. Doing so will damage both
the battery and the electric starter.
5. When charging the battery, the
battery produces flammable gases.
Do not smoke, flames, and sparks
get near the battery while it is
charging as this may cause a fire. To
avoid sparking while connecting the
cables to the battery first, connect
the cables to the battery then to the
motor. To disconnect battery cables,
first disconnect the motor end of the
cable.

Stopping the Generator
1. Take the electrical load off the
generator.
2. Turn generator run switch off.
3. Put the speed handle in the “RUN”
position and let the engine run for 3
minutes after unloading. Do not stop
the diesel engine immediately let it
cool off. Stopping the diesel engine
suddenly may raise the temperature
of the engine abnormally and lock the
nozzle and damage the diesel engine.
NOTE:
1. If the speed handle is in the
“STOP” position and the engine is
still running, turn the fuel switch to
the “OFF” position or lossen the high
pressure oil pipe nut. The engine
could be stopped more than one
way other than using the speed
handle.
2. If you cannot stop the engine with
a load on it, then remove the load
first then stop the engine.
