Use cables approved for battery charging. Connect a red clip to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect a black clip to the negative terminal of the battery. Connect the other end of the clip wire to the corresponding
WARNING: Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised 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.
WARNING: Do not continue to charge a battery that becomes hot or is fully charged.
DC CIRCUIT BREAKER: The maximum current available from the battery charger circuit is 15 amps. An automatic DC circuit breaker has been provided to protect the circuit from overloads and assure that the battery gets recharged. If an overload occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. After it cools, it will automatically reset itself. The battery's maximum rate of charge will eventually reduce to less than 15 amps and then to zero as the battery approaches a 100 percent state of charge.
IDLE CONTROL OPERATION
The Idle Control circuit is designed to extend engine life and improve fuel usage by slowing the engine down to approximately 2000 RPM in a “No Load” condition. The noise is also greatly reduced during this condition.
When power is required from the generator an electronic control module automatically senses current flow in the electrical outlet and allows the engine to return to full speed or standard operating condition. Likewise, when the load is removed, the generator will automatically return to the idle condition after a
A convenient switch is mounted in the control panel for easy access and will disable the Idle Control circuitry when in the off position.
IDLE CONTROL TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
Unit will not idle | Control panel switch not on | Turn to idle on position |
| Load plugged into receptacle | Unplug load |
| Poor connection or faulty cord | Check & repair |
| Bad I.C. module; Bad | Replace |
| or solenoids; Bad stator |
|
|
| Consult dealer |
Unit idles even with load plugged in | Load not heavy enough | Turn idle switch to off position |
|
| Increase load |
| Bad I.C. module | Replace |
|
| Consult dealer |
Unit tries to idle but won’t stay latched | Reset magnet or solenoid position for | |
| incorrect | 2000 RPM idle speed |
|
| Consult dealer |
| Flapper bracket loose or bent | Tighten or straighten |
|
| Replace flapper. Readjust to 2000 RPM |
| Engine not running smoothly | Adjust carburetor |
