Operation of Generator
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS:
1.
Ensure engine is started and Green Indicator Light illuminates before plugging in any electrical appliance.
2.
Plug in desired 120 Volt load to the 120 Volt U--Ground receptacles or the 120 Volt NEMA 14--30 twist lock
receptacle. Always plug appliances into the generator with appliance in its “OFF” position.
3.
Plug in 12V DC load to the DC receptacle. DC and AC power may be used simultaneously. Circuit Breaker
may need to be re--set before using 12V receptacle. When charging 12V batteries insert the charging plug
into the DC socket and then connect the terminals to the battery. After charging is complete, remove
battery terminal first, then un--plug charging plug from generator. Remove the ground wire of Car Batteries
prior to charging and re- connects after charging is complete to avoid short circuit or spark.
4.
Do NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt receptacles.
5.
Only connects single--phase 60 Hertz loads.
6.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. FOLLOW THE PROVIDED “GENERATOR WATTAGE REFERENCE
WORKSHEET” TO DETERMINE THE RUNNING AND STARTING WATTAGE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT, REFER TO
THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS TO ENSURE YOUR GENERATOR WILL OPERATE THE DESIRED EQUIPMENT.
Generator Overload
•
Repeated, substantial overloading that reports an overload condition to the digital display may
damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily reports an overload may shorten
the service life of the generator.
•
The display will remain illuminated and returning data during normal operating conditions.
•
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 3000 W), or if there is a short in the connected
appliance, the values in the digital display will become zero, the message OVER will appear in
the wattage (P) field of the display, and the power output will stop.
1.
Remove all electrical loads from the generator and investigate the cause of the overload.
2.
Press the (green) overload reset button. The OVER message will be cleared, and the
digital display should be returning data again within 10 seconds.
Before connecting or reconnecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order,
and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.
