Stopping the engine
1. Before stopping, ensure that no electrical apparatus
is connected to the generator.
2. Turn the engine switch (7) to the ‘off’ position (Fig. M).
3. Turn the fuel (2) vent lever to the ‘off’ position (Fig. N).
Connecting apparatus to the generator
Please note that it is not recommended to run the unit
over its rated output of 850W for more than a maximum
of 20 minutes.
AC Applications
1. Start the engine. Make sure the green output indicator
light (14) comes on (it may take up to 3 seconds). Allow
the motor to run for a couple of minutes to warm up prior
to connecting any apparatus to the generator.
2. Ensure the apparatus/appliance switch is turned OFF.
Then plug the power cord into the AC output socket (11)
on the generator.
Note.
Before connecting an apparatus/appliance make
sure that;
•
The apparatus/appliance is in good working order.
Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential
electrical shock.
•
It is highly recommended to have a surge protector
connected to the generator at all times.
•
Check to make sure that the apparatus/appliance does
not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the
maximum power rating of the generator.
3. Switch the AC Smart Throttle
System (15) if required to the
‘ON’ position (Fig. O).
Note.
Smart Throttle:
•
The Smart Throttle System
does not operate effectively
if the electrical appliance
requires the momentary
electric power.
•
When operating high electrical loads simultaneously turn
the Smart Throttle System switch to the OFF position to
reduce voltage change.
Overload Indicator:
•
When the generator has an output required that
exceeds it’s output an overload indicator light (13) will
glow, providing a warning before cutting the engine out
20 seconds later.
CAUTION.
•
Ensure the electric apparatus is turned off before
plugging in.
•
Check to ensure that the total load is within the generator
rated output.
WARNING.
Prior to connecting any appliance to the
generator, check the rating label of the appliance. The
generator is rated at 850W so if the appliance being
connected is higher than 850W, the protective cut out may
switch the generator off to prevent over load damage to the
generator. The generator will withstand short operation up to
1000W for a maximum of 20 minutes.
Note.
Motorised products will require more energy upon
start up and products which are rated below 850W may not
start if the starting current is excessive, this is not due to a
performance fault of the generator.
