5.7 Air Conditioner Operation
For best results, the SMART throttle switch should be in the off position. Bring the generator to a
normal operating temperature before applying the air conditioning load. Always allow a 2 minute wait
period when manually cycling an air conditioner off and on. A longer wait period may be required
under unusually hot weather conditions. Additionally, all other loads should be turned off until the air
conditioner has started and is performing normally. It is also important to follow the air conditioner
manufacturer's instructions for starting and restarting for proper operation. Some air conditioner
manufacturers offer a start capacitor as an extra cost option. The lack of a start capacitor can cause
the air conditioner to draw too high a starting current and overload the generator. Contact your air
conditioner dealer if you consistently have problems starting your air conditioner with the generator.
5.8 DC Power Application
The DC receptacle may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries only. It is not designed
to operate DC motors. Output voltage is 15-30V. DC output will vary according to the position of the
Smart throttle switch.
a. Connect the charging cable to the DC receptacle of the generator and then to the battery terminals.
■ To prevent the possibility of creating sparks near the battery, connect
the charging cable first to the generator then to the battery.
Disconnect the cable first at the battery.
■
Before connecting the charging cable to a battery that is installed in a
vehicle, disconnect the vehicle's battery ground cable. Reconnect the
vehicle's ground cable after the charging cables are removed. This
procedure will prevent the possibility of a short circuit and sparks if
accidental contact is made between a battery terminal and the
vehicle's frame or body.
■ Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with the generator still
connected to battery. The generator may be damaged.
■
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cord.
Do not reverse the charging cables or serious damage to the
generator and/or battery may occur.
■
The battery gives off explosive gases: keep sparks, flames and
cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging.
