6.2 Equipment overload and reassembly.
In case of an overload or short circuit the overload protection thermal breaker
"BREAKER" will switch to the "OFF" position, disconnecting the voltage output.
In case of overload, first unplug any plugged equipments.
Once the equipments are unplugged, assemble the overload protector again by
rising the protector to the "ON" position to restore the group voltage output.
THERMAL PROTECTOR
If the overload protector trips again after connecting the devices, do not plug the
device. The plugged device may have a problem or exceeds the generator's power.
NOTE: Once you verify that the generator cannot support or accept the load,
please do not insist. Constant overloads may negatively affect the group.
Remember that many equipments need extra consumption for startup.
Equipments that use an engine such as compressors, water pumps, circular saws
or others consume up to 3 times more power for startup. For example, a 1000W
water pump will need 3000W to start up, therefore we would need a generator no
less than 3000W.
