CIRCUIT PROTECTION

AC FEATURES

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

DC FEATURES (Models PM0473503, PL0473503 & PC0473503 Only) Battery Charger

This generator contains a circuit used for battery charging purposes. A two-prong DC receptacle is provided for this feature. A battery charging cable equipped with a matching plug for this receptacle has been supplied with the unit.

The battery charger on the generator is referred to as an unregulated taper charger, the most widely used in the market today. The amount of current flowing will depend on the charging voltage and battery’s state of charge. As the on- charge output current to the battery decreases, the output current to the battery increases and nearly becomes constant. Taper chargers are intended to be used with the provision that they will be disconnected from the battery after maximum time on charge. Normally a period of 30 to 120 minutes is sufficient to recharge a weak battery.

CAUTION: This battery charging system is intended to recharge weak batteries, not to “boost start” vehicles.

NOTE: When the battery charger circuit is in use, the AC capacity is reduced by 180 watts. Make sure the combined load is within the rated limits.

Before charging a storage battery, check the electrolyte fluid level in all the cells. (Sealed batteries do not require checking). Add distilled water to each cell, if necessary, to bring the level back up to the manufacturer’s required level.

WARNING: Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas while charging. Do not allow smoking, open flames, sparks, or spark producing equipment in the area while charging.

Connect the red clip to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect the black clip to the negative terminal of the battery. Insert the DC plug into the DC receptacle to the generator. After the battery is fully charged remove the battery charging cable from the generator and then disconnect from the battery posts.

WARNING: Battery electrolyte fluid is compressed of sulfuric acid that can be very dangerous and cause severe burns. Do not allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing, etc. If contact or spillage does occur, flush the area with water immediately.
