Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator
may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
In any case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must be considered.
Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information
near the model number or serial number.
5.4 AC OPERATION
①
Start the engine
②
Switch the AC circuit breaker ON.
③
Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated wattage for
startup.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit causes the
AC circuit breaker to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait a few minutes and then
reset the circuit breaker.
5.5 DC OPERATION
DC Terminals
The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries. The terminals
are colored red to identify the positive (+) terminal and black to identify the negative (-) terminal. The
battery must be connected to the generator DC terminals with the proper polarity (battery positive to
generator red terminal and battery negative to the generator black terminal).
With DC Circuit Protector With DC Fuse
DC Circuit Protector (or DC Fuse)
The DC circuit protector(or DC Fuse) automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the
DC circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery, or the connections between the
battery and the generator are improper.
The indicator inside the DC circuit protector button will pop out to show that the DC circuit protector
has switched off. Wait a few minutes and push the button in to reset the DC circuit protector.
Connecting the battery cables:
1) Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the
vehicle’s grounded battery cable.
