11
This function is applicable to 12V battery charging
only.
Disconnect the leads from the battery.
Loosen the vents on the battery.
Make sure the battery fluid level is correct
Using a hydrometer measure the specific gravity of
the battery fluid and calculate the charging time in
accordance with the table shown.
Attach the 12v charging leads to the battery observing
correct polarity (Red = + Positive) (black = - Negative).
Plug the 12v charger lead into the socket on the
generator, Fig 11.
The specific gravity for the fully charged battery shall
be within 1.26 to 1.28. It is advisable to check the
specific gravity every hour.
ECONOMY CONTROL SWITCH (FIG 12)
On:
Recommended to minimize fuel consumption and
further reduce noise levels when no load is applied to
the generator.
Off:
The smart throttle system does not operate.
Engine speed varies with the load.
With the switch in the On position, the engine speed is
controlled automatically. The engine speed is lowered
when the load on the generator is reduced, turned off
or disconnected. When loads are turned on or
re-connected, the engine returns to the correct speed
to power the connected load.
In the Off position the system does not operate. The
economy system also helps in fuel economy and
reduced noise levels when under no load conditions.
When a load is connected to the generator, the
generator speed will automatically adjust in order to
supply enough power.
Appliances with large start-up power demands may
not allow the engine to reach normal operating speed
when they are connected to the generator. Turn the
economy switch to the Off position and connect the
appliance to the generator. If the engine still will not
reach normal operating speed, check that the
appliance does not exceed the rated load capacity of
the generator.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR ENGINE
Before stopping the engine make sure that all the
electrical loads are disconnected from the generator
AC outlet socket. Turn the generator On/Off switch to
the Off position, Fig 13.
Close the fuel filler cap vent, Fig 14.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG 15)
Under normal working conditions the (Green) output
indicator light will be illuminated.
If the generator is overloaded or if there is a
malfunction or a short circuit in a connected
appliance, the (Green) output indicator will extinguish
and the (Red) overload indicator light illuminates and
the power to the connected appliance will be
disconnected.
If the (Red) overload indicator light illuminates stop the
generator and investigate the cause.
Before connecting an appliance to the generator,
check that it is in good order, and that its electrical
rating does not exceed that of the generator. Then
connect the power cord of the appliance, and start
the engine.
When an electric motor is started, both the (Red)
overload indicator and the (Green) output indicator will
illuminate simultaneously. This is normal, the (Red)
over- load indicator extinguishes after about four (4)
seconds. If the (Red) overload indicator remains
illuminated, consult your generator dealer.
Caution:
Substantial overloading that continuously
illuminates the (Red) overload indicator may damage
the generator. If the (Red) overload indicator light and
the (Green) output indicator illuminate at the same
time when engine starts and the (Red) overload
indicator remains illuminated after the (Green) output
indicator extinguishes, please contact your supplier.
Note:
For equipment with an inductive load (more
power will be required at initial start). Under these
conditions it is normal for both the (Red) overload
indicator and the (Green) output indicator will
illuminate simultaneously for a short period about four
(4) seconds. After the appliance starts, the (Red) over-
load indicator extinguishes and the (Green) output
indicator will remain illuminated.
The circuit breaker for the 12V DC charging function is
positioned next to the 12V socket, Fig 16.
SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug
must be properly gapped and free of deposits.
Remove the spark plug maintenance cover,
Fig 17.
Pull the HT lead off the spark plug, Fig 18, and clean
any dirt from around the spark plug base. Using the
wrench supplied remove the spark plug, Fig 19. The
spark plug type is CMR6A.
Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the
insulator is cracked or chipped. Please use a spark
plug gauge to check the spark plug gap, it should be
0.6-0.7mm (0.024-0.028inch).
Check that the spark plug sealing washer is in good
condition, and thread the spark plug in by hand to
prevent cross threading.
