Powering 120 Volt AC Tools and Equipment

Powering 120 Volt AC Tools and Equipment:

1.Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (115 VAC / 20 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator.

2.Once the Generator is running, simply connect the Power Cords of 115 volt AC powered tools and equipment into the 115 bolt AC Duel Outlets (6). (See Figure

G.)

3.NOTE: Do not allow the generator to completely run out of fuel with devices attached. A generator’s output may sharply spike as it runs out of fuel, causing damage to attached devices.

4.NOTE: The Generator features an AC Non-Fuse Circuit Breaker (5) to protect the AC circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur the Breaker will “trip” to its “OFF” position, causing the Generator to automatically shut down. In this case, refer to Step #1 above in this section. Then, reset the circuitry system by turning the Circuit Breaker to its “ON” position. Restart the Generator and continue powering the remaining tools and equipment. (See Figure D.)

5.When finished using the Generator, turn the Engine Power Switch (2) to its “OFF” position. Turn the Fuel Valve (40B) to its “OFF” position. Then, disconnect all electrical powered tools and equipment from the Generator’s 115 volt AC Duel Outlets (6). (See Figure E, F & G.)

6.After the Engine and Generator have completely cooled, store the Generator in a safe, clean, dry location (if not already installed in one).

Powering 12 Volt DC Tools and Equipment:

1.Prior to powering a tool or equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (12 VDC / 10 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator.

2.Connect the Power Cord of a 12 VDC powered tool or equipment to the DC Terminals

(7).NOTE: Make sure to connect the positive (+) lead of the Power Cord to the positive (+) Terminal on the Generator, and connect the negative (-)lead of the Power Cord to the Negative (-)Terminal on the Generator. (See Figure H, next page.)

3.If using only a 12 volt DC tool or equipment, turn the 120 volt AC Circuit Breaker

(5)to its “OFF” position. (See Figure D.)

4.Start and run the Engine as previously discussed in this manual.
