and check that they are functioning correctly.
3.
Check for any blockages restricting airflow, and clear.
4.
Restart the engine and reconnect the device once everything is in order.
Low Oil Indicator:
The oil indicator light will light up when the oil level in the crankcase is low. Stop the
engine allow to cool and add oil as shown on page **
Connecting Electrical Devices:
The generator can supply 230v AC and 12v DC.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Using AC Power:
Start the engine see page 13
Ensure that the device to be connected is turned off.
Connect the device to the / a 230v AC socket / s.
Proceed to use the device normally.
Using DC Power:
Caution:
Ensure that the device to be connected is in good working or-
der and that the required power needed to run it is within those stated in
the specifications for the generator.
Note:
Any device which contains an inductive load (e.g. devices that
contain a motor) may require more current on start-up.
Note:
The DC output on the generator is for charging batteries only - see
specifications on page 8
Caution:
Make connections to the battery only after starting the engine
.

Stopping The Generator:
In an emergency simply press the engine switch to the off position.
In normal conditions:
Remove any load from the generator.
Turn the fuel tap to off.
Press the engine switch to the off position.
Turn the vent valve to off.
Set the economy switch to off.
Start the engine
.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Caution:
To reduce the possibility of creating a spark near the battery,
connect the battery charging lead to the battery first and then to the
generator.
Connect the red wire to the positive terminal on the battery and the black wire to the
negative terminal of the battery - NEVER REVERSE THE POLARITY!
Connect the opposite end of the charging lead to the DC outlet of the generator.
If battery has vent plugs, remove to allow ventilation.
Note: This not an intelligent battery charging system, therefore close
monitoring of battery condition should be done during charging.
On completion of charging:
Unplug the lead from generator
Disconnect Negative clamp, then Positive clamp from the battery terminals.
Turn off the generator.
Note:
If the battery is too large for the generator, or if the battery is dam-
aged it will attempt to take a load over that which the generator can
give. The DC overload will then trip the output. If this happens, investigate
the cause, wait a few minutes and reset the DC overload on the control
panel.
