Section 4: Operation
Connecting Electrical Loads
• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
• DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex
receptacles.
• DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD GENERATOR. See "Don't
Overload Generator".
CAUTION
Exceeding generator's wattage/amperage capacity can
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected
to it.
• See "Don't Overload Generator".
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
• Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for
operation.
• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator
before stopping generator.
Stopping the Engine
1.
Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine
with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.
2.
Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3.
Turn start switch to "Stop" position.
Charging a Battery
Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged
12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery. DO
NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries. DO NOT
use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
DANGER
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas
during recharging.
Hydrogen gas stays near battery for a long time
after battery has been charged.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause
explosion.
You can be blinded or severely injured.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is
extremely caustic.
Contact with battery fluid will cause severe
chemical burns.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette
during and for several minutes after charging a battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
1.
Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add
ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery
cells. DO NOT use tap water.
2.
If battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they
are installed and are tight.
3.
If necessary, clean battery terminals.
4.
Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel
receptacle identified by the words "12-VOLTS D.C.".
5.
Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle
to the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 8).
Figure 8 — Battery Connections
6.
Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle
to the negative (–) battery terminal (Figure 8).
7.
Start engine. Let engine run while battery recharges.
8.
When battery has charged, shut down engine
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state
of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer's instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific gravity
of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.
