6. Once you hear the engine operating, return the choke
lever back to the right hand side position. This position will
switch the choke ‘off’.
Stopping the engine
1. Before stopping, ensure that
no electrical apparatus is
connected to the generator.
2. Turn the engine switch to the
‘stop’ position.
3. Turn the fuel tap (4) anti-
clockwise to the ‘off’ position.
Connecting apparatus to the generator
1. Start the engine. Allow the
engine to run for a couple of
minutes to warm up prior to
connecting any apparatus to
the generator. The green power
on light (12) will illuminate
when the generator is
operational and power is
available at the socket.
2. For AC current, plug the power cord into the AC output
socket (10).
WARNING.
Prior to connecting any product to the generator,
check the rating label of the product. The generator is rated
at 650W so if the product being connected is higher than
650W, 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 750W.
It should also be very clearly understood that output voltage
fluctuations will occur when various loads are connected
and disconnected. It is best to always use a voltage or surge
protector with this generator.
It is NOT recommended to
connect any electronic equipment to the generator such
as computers, televisions, or stereo equipment. They
are very sensitive to the input supply fluctuations and
could be damaged if run off this generator. This warning
also includes caravans where electronic equipment is
incorporated as part of the wiring.
AC overload cut out
IMPORTANT:
Exceeding the rated capacity of your
generator can result in serious damage to your generator
and connected apparatus.
1. Each receptacle has a circuit breaker to protect the
generator from over loading.
2. If the circuit breaker trips, unplug all electrical apparatus
from the generator.
3. Let the overload cut out switch cool down.
4. If it is an AC apparatus causing the overload push the
AC circuit breaker button (11). Commence to start your
generator accordingly.
5. When re connecting appliances, reduce the load to that
which previously overloaded the generator.
