USING ELECTRIC POWER
AC APPLICATION
1. Check the AC output light (green)
is on and illuminated.
2. Turn off electrical appliances before
connecting to the generator.
3. Insert the plug
of the electrical
appliance into
the AC socket.
CAUTION:
• Ensure the electric
appliances
are turned off
before plugging into the AC socket.
• Ensure the total load is within
the generator rated output.
DO NOT OVERLOAD GENERATOR
• Follow these steps to calculate
the running and starting watts
required for your appliances
1. Select the appliances you plan on
running at the same time
2. Total up the running watts
of these appliances
3. Identify the starting wattage of the selected
appliances and add this amount to the total
running watts - refer to the manufacturers
label or name plate on the appliance. The
extra burst of power needed to start some
electric motor driven appliances may be
up to three times the running watts.
4. To convert voltage and amperage to watts:
Volts (V) x Amps (A) = Watts (W)
OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT
The overload indicator light (RED) comes
on when the rated load is exceeded.
When the maximum load is reached, the
RED light will blink and cut power to the
AC outlets to protect the generator and
any connected electric appliances.
To recover the power, turn off the
engine, wait until the RED light turns
off and then restart the generator.
Check the following steps:
• Turn off all connected electric appliances
• Reduce the total wattage of
connected electric appliances
within the rated load range.
• After restarting the generator, check
that the GREEN output light is now on
(illuminated). Plug in appliances.
CAUTION:
• The generator AC output automatically
resets when the engine is
stopped and then restarted.
• The overload indicator light may
come on for a few seconds at first
when using electric appliances that
require a large starting current.
However, this is not a malfunction.
