With all the above taken into account, and only when completely satisfied that the
proposed installation is perfectly safe, proceed to connect and operate the appliances
as follows:

(i)

Ensure the 110/230V selector switch, on top of the generator 

(C. Fig.1)

, is in the

MIDDLE (OFF) position, and the electrical appliance is switched OFF

(ii)

Insert the plug, from the appliance, into the respective socket outlet,
(BLUE  - 230V.......YELLOW - 110V).

(iii) Switch the 110/230V selector switch to the appropriate voltage.

(iv) Switch ON the appliance.

10

IMPORTANT ! Never switch off the engine whilst an electrical device is connected.

C. Shutting down the Generator

ALWAYS use the following procedure.

Switch OFF....

a. ALL  appliances

b. The 110/230V selector switch. (Select the MIDDLE position)

Disconnect the appliances from the outlet socket.

Turn OFF the gas, at the gas bottle, and allow the engine to stop through lack of fuel,
THEN turn the ignition switch to the ‘OFF’ position.

This ensures that no gas is left in the hoses etc., which could be hazardous.

NOTE: If you are simply changing gas bottles, it is not necessary to disconnect the electrical
appliances.  Switch OFF the appliances, then switch OFF the 110/230V selector switch on
top of the generator (C. Fig.1). i.e.  set to the MIDDLE (OFF) position. The gas bottle may then
be changed.

D. Thermal Overload

If the circuit is overloaded the thermal circuit breaker will trip, to protect the alternator, and
output will cease.

Should this occur, disconnect the appliance from the generator and  switch OFF the engine.
Wait until the alternator has cooled down, before pressing the reset button, shown at F,
Fig.1

.

Before starting the engine and reconnecting the appliance, determine, and eliminate the
cause of the overload.
