B - Overload warning light
The overload warning light will light up if, an overload caused by the attached equipment is
detected, the inverter control overheats, or the AC voltage rises. The circuit breaker will
then kick in and stop the process of electricity generation in order to protect the generator
and connected equipment. The green AC alternating current warning light will go off and the
red overload warning light will light up. After a few seconds the engine will stop.
If the overload warning light lights up (and the engine has possibly already stopped) you
must do the following:
a) Switch all connected equipment off
b) Switch the engine off if it has not automatically been switched off
c) Reduce the total wattage of connected equipment to the maximum allowed load
d) Check that no ventilation openings are blocked and where necessary unblock them.
e) Once everything has been checked you can restart the engine
Warning!
The AC direct current supply is automatically reset when the engine is switched off and
restarted.
The overload warning light can light up for a few seconds if an electrical device is being
used that requires a high peak current when staring up, like a compressor or a
submersible pump. This is not a malfunction.
C DC Direct current application
N.B. Only for charging 12V batteries.
Instructions for charging a battery:
i) Set the Economy switch to the OFF position
j) Set the DC direct current overload protection (red
button) to OFF.
k) Prepare the battery for charging:
Uncouple the battery leads.
Remove the filler caps completely.
Fill with distilled water to the maximum level (if
necessary).
Measure the specific gravity of the battery fluid
with an acidimeter and calculate the charge
time according to the table on the right.
The specific gravity of the fully charged bttey
must be 1.26 to 1.28. It is recommended that
you carry out the above every hour.
l) Using battery leads connect the battery terminals to
the corresponding terminals in the DC direct
current socket on the generator: + on +, - on - !
m) Check that all leads are correctly connected and
switch the DC direct current overload protection to
ON.
IV-3 Stopping the engine
w) Switch all connected equipment off and disconnect all connections to the generator.
x) Switch the engine switch to the STOP position.
y) Close the fuel cock (OFF).
z) Close the ventilator knob on the tank cap (clockwise).
