5. OPERATION:
TIP:
•
The generator DC rated voltage is 12V.
•
Start the engine first, and then connect the generator to the battery for charging.
•
Before starting to charge the battery, make sure that the DC protector is turned on.
1. Start the engine.
2. Connect the red battery charger lead to the positive (+) battery terminal.
3. Connect the black battery charger lead to the negative (-) battery terminal.
4. Turn the ESC “OFF” to start battery charging.
Battery charging.
NOTICE
•
Be sure the ESC is turned off while charging the battery.
•
Be sure to connect the red battery charger lead to the positive (+) battery
terminal, and connect the black lead to the negative (-) battery terminal. Do not
reverse these positions.
•
Connect the battery charger leads to the battery terminals securely so that they
are not disconnected due to engine vibration or other disturbances.
•
Charge the battery in the correct procedure by following instructions in the
owner's manual for the battery.
•
The DC protector turns off automatically if current above the rated flows during
battery haring. To restart charging the battery, turn he DC protector on by pressing
its button to “ON”. If the DC protector turns off again, top charging the battery
immediately and consult a franchised dealer.
TIP:
•
Follow instructions in the owner are manual for the battery to determine the end
of battery charging.
•
Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte to determine if the battery is fully
charged. At full charge, the electrolyte specific gravity is between 1.26 and 1.28.
•
It is advisable to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte at least once every
hour to prevent overcharging the battery.
5. OPERATION:
WARNING:
•
Never smoke or make and break connections at the battery while charging. Sparks
may ignite the battery gas.
•
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous, causing severe burns, etc. contains
sulfuric (sulphuric) acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Antidote:
External: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc., away.
Ventilate when charging or using in closed space. Always cover eyes when working
near batteries.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
AC parallel operation.
Before connecting an appliance to either generator, make sure that it is in
good working order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the
receptacle.
During parallel operation, the ESC switch should be in the same position on
both generators.
1. Connect the parallel operation cable between the g
enerator
to either a g
enerator
or companion generator following the instructions supplied with the cable kit.
2. Start the engines and make sure the output indicator (green) on each generator
comes on.
3. Plug an appliance into the AC receptacle.
4. Turn on the appliance.
AC Parallel Operation Applications.
TIP:
•
Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord can
create a potential for electrical shock.
•
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly,
turn if off immediately. Disconnect the appliance and determine whether the
problem is the appliance, or the rated load capacity of the generator has been
exceeded.
•
Make sure that the combined electrical rating of the tools or appliance do not
exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum may be used for no more
than 30 minutes.
•
Never connect different generator models.
•
Don't remove the parallel operation cable when the generator operation.
•
For single generator operation, the parallel operation cable must be removed.
WARNING:
•
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator (red) may
damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily light the overload
indicator (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
•
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
•
Rated power in parallel operation is 6KW.
