WARNING. Prior to connecting any appliance to the
generator, check the rating label of the appliance. The
generator has a rated value and is shown on the generator
label, so if the appliance being connected is higher than
the rated value on the generator, the protective cut out on
the generator may operate to prevent over load damage to
the generator. The generator will withstand short operation
and spikes up to the peak value as shown on the generator
label, or the generator may stop.
Note.
Motorised products will require more energy upon
start up and products which are rated below the generator
rating may not start if the starting current is excessive. Some
motorized product require 2 - 2.5 the appliance rating to start.
It should also be very clearly understood that output
voltage fluctuations will occur when various loads are
connected and disconnected. It is NOT recommended to
connect any sensitive electronic equipment to these
types of generators. Computers, televisions, and stereo
equipment can be very sensitive to the input supply and
could be damaged if used in conjunction with this generator.
This also includes caravans where electronic equipment is
incorporated as part of the wiring.
It is always suggested to use a surge protector on the
output of these generators.
AC circuit breaker
These generators have been equipped with an AC circuit
breaker (4), designed to assist in preventing overloading of
the generator, cutting supply in the case of a some failed
appliances and assisting to protect people against an electric
shock.
Safety switch tripping
If the circuit breaker (4) has tripped and cuts off the power, it
may be due to substantial overloading. Marginal overloading
may not switch off the circuit breaker (4), but it will 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” both the circuit breaker (4) as the safety switch
cannot be turned off manually) and or the generator engine
switch (12 ) immediately. Then disconnect the appliance and
examine it for signs of malfunction.
Resetting the circuit breaker (4) should restore the power
and should be conducted as follows:
1. Unplug all electrical apparatus from the generator.
2. Let the circuit breaker (4) cool down.
3. Lift the circuit breaker (4) up to the “ON” position, or press
the button.
4. Commence to start your generator accordingly.
5. When re connecting appliances, reduce the load to that
which previously overloaded the generator.
If the circuit breaker (4) does not reset due to a faulty
electrical appliance or wiring, switch off and unplug
the appliance which may be faulty. Any faulty electrical
appliances will need to be repaired by a suitably qualified
person. If the safety switch does not reset after unplugging
the appliance, call a licensed electrician to find the fault.
12V DC Connection
The DC output on these generators is fully regulated to
12 – 14.2V DC with a Max. output of 5A (Fig. L).
In addition there is also a power USB outlet with a rating of
1 amp at 5V (Fig. M).
