If the generator is overloaded the main breaker will trip.
5.1.6.
To reset the breaker do the following;
5.1.6.1.
Turn OFF and disconnect all loads.
5.1.6.2.
Reset breaker, and add load onto the circuit to within 50% to 75% of rated
output.
5.1.7.
Wait a few minutes before resuming operation.
5.1.8.
Electrical appliances, particularly motor driven equipment, will have a very high
start-up current. The table below provides reference for connecting these appliances
to the generator.

12v DC use.
Connect the positive and negative charging lead clips to the correct
poles of the battery.
If you try to charge a large capacity battery, which is at a low voltage,
excessive current flow may occur. This may result in the fuse for the
12v DC blowing.
Do not use 12V DC and 230V AC at the same time.
5.2.1.
DC terminals are only for charging 12V batteries.
5.2.2.
Set the main AC breaker switch to the 'OFF' position whilst charging.
5.2.3.
If you undertake regular battery charging, it is advisable to use a 230v battery
charger run from the 230v circuit, for a more efficient charge.
6. STOPPING MACHINE
Do not stop the engine suddenly or whilst under load.
This can damage the AVR and cause damage to the alternator
through overheating.
