OWNER’S MANUAL
Connect the large loads onto the generator first. If everything is functional, smaller loads can then
be added. If the generator shuts off, it may be because the load being drawn by all the various
devices are too high. In this event, decrease the number of small devices until everything is
functional. The total drawn power should not exceed the maximum output power of the generator.
Please see Table 1-1 for technical specifications of what the generator can output. In order to reset
the generator after overdrawn power, let it sit for several minutes. If the indication of the
voltmeter is too high or too low, adjust the speed accordingly. If there are problems, stop the
generator immediately and fix the issue.
4. During operation, the generator should be in a place that has very good ventilation.
Never cover the engine to solve a ventilation problem, as this will damage your
equipment.
N
ote: Do n
ot start more than two devices simultaneously. Each device should be
started one by one to prevent overloading the generator.
T
he g
enerator should be running at 3600 revolutions per minute in order to
achieve the (60 Hz) frequency. The speed of the engine can be adjusted from the
speed governor.
2-7.3 Charging the battery
1. For the electric starter on the generator sets, the 12V battery is automatically
charged through the regulator on the side of the engine when it is running.
2. If the generator is not used for long perio
ds of time, the battery should be
disconnected to avoid energy loss from the battery.
3. Do not connect the negative and positive
terminals of the battery together at any
time. Doing so will cause the battery to explode and cause serious injuries.
4. Do not reverse the polarities when attaching the battery cables to the battery.
Doing so will damage both the battery and t
he electric starter.
5. When charging the battery, the battery produces flammable gases. Do only on well
Do not smoke, let flames, and sparks get
near the battery while it is charging as
this may cause a fire.
To a
void sparking while connecting the cables to the battery, first, connect the cables
to t
he battery then to the motor. To disconnect battery cables, first disconnect the
motor end of the cable.
