A.WARNING
•
To prevent the possibility of creating spark near the battery, connect charg-
ing cable first to the generator, then to the battery. Disconnect cable first at
the battery.
•Before connecting charging cable to a battery that is installed in a vehicle,
disconnect the vehicles grounded battery cable. Reconnect the vehicle's
grounded battery cable after the charging cables are removed. This proced
dure will prevent the possibility of a short circuit and sparks if you make ace
idental contact between a battery terminal and the vehicle's frame or body.
A.CAUTION
•Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with the generator still conn-
ected to batter. 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.
A.WARNING
•The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes
away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging.
•The battery contains sulfuric acid {electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes
may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield.
A. If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
B. lf electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes
and call a physician.
•Electrolyte is poisonous.
A. If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of
magnecia or vegetable oil and call a physician.
•
Keep out of reach of children.
5.1 AC applications
1. Start the engine and make sure the green output indicator light comes on.
2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off and plug in the appliance.
5.3 DC application
The DC receptacle may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries only.
Output voltage is 15-30V when current receptacle on no load. DC output will vary
according to the position of the Smart throttle switch. When the Smart throttle switch
is turned to the ON position and the AC output is not used, the DC current will be
about one-third of the rated current.

•
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the red
overload indicator light may damage the generator.
Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the
overload indicator may shorten the service life of the
generator.
• Be sure that all appliances are in good working order
before connecting them to the generator. If an
appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes
sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the generator
engine switch immediately. Disconnect the appliance
and examine it for signs of malfunction.
1.Connect the charging cable to the DC receptacle of the generator and then to the
5.2 Output and Overload Indicators
The green output indicator light will remain ON during normal operating conditions. If
the generator is overloaded or if there is a short in the connected appliance the
output indicator will go OFF and the overload indicator will go ON and current to the
connected appliance will be shut off.
Stop the engine if the overload indicator light comes ON and investigate the
overload source. The engine will continue to run even though it is not producing any
AC power. The engine must be stopped and then the generator restarted to resume
normal operation.
Check the engine oil level if the red oil alarming indicator comes ON.

NOTE
•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 overload
indicator light and the output indicator light may go on
simultaneously. This is normal if the overload indicator
light goes off after about four seconds. If the overload
indicator light stays on, consult your dealer.
