Battery

The supplied 12V battery does re-charge while the engine
is running and the battery switch is turned ON, but it is also
recommended that the battery be fully charged at least once
per month or maintained with a trickle charger or battery
maintainer (not included).
Connecting Electrical Loads
Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 220 Volt AC single phase, 50 Hz
electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
– Use only a high quality, insulated, compatible (3-wire or
4-wire) grounded cord set rated equal to or greater (volts and
amps) than the receptacle plugging into.
WARNING
A
Always remember to plug your appliances directly into the
generator and do not plug the generator power cord into any
electrical outlet or connect to the circuit breaker panel in your
home. Connecting a generator to your home's electric utility
company's power lines, or to another power source, called
'backfeeding' is a dangerous practice that is illegal in many
states and municipalities.
This action if done incorrectly could damage your generator,
appliances and could cause serious injury or death to you
or a utility worker when attempting to restore power during
an outage occurrence in the neighborhood who may then
unexpectedly encounter high voltage on the utility line and
suffer a fatal shock.
Whether injuries occur or not, if installed incorrectly and not to
applicable laws and codes, you may be subject to fines or the
utility company may disconnect your home power should this
practice be found in your home.
If the generator will be connected to a building electrical
system, those connections must isolate the generator power
from the utility power. You are responsible for ensuring your
generator's electricity does not backfeed into the electric
utility power lines. These connections must comply with all
applicable laws and codes – Consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician to properly install this connection.
NOTICE
Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and starting
watts necessary for your purposes:
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at the same
time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is the amount of
power you need to keep your items running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified
in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2.
Starting wattage is the surge of power needed to start some
electric driven equipment. Following the steps listed under
"Power Management" will guarantee that only one device will
be starting at a time.
4. If the generator power output is cut off due to an overload
condition indicated by the AC overload blinking light, lower
the load by unplugging one or more items, then press the
AC overload reset button before restarting the generator for
continued normal operation.
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts:
Volts × Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow
these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to get up to
temperature.
3. Make sure all circuit breakers are set to the run position.
4. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach the item
with the largest load first.
5. Allow the engine to stabilize.
6. Plug in and turn on the next item.
7. Allow the engine to stabilize.
8. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
