o Grounding the generator

-To ground the generator to the earth, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the gounding spike driven into the earth or to the conductor which has been already grounded to the earth.

- If such grounding conductor or grounding electrode is unavailable, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the grounding terminal of the using

 

 

electric tool or appliance.

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

Generator must be grounded when the electrical

 

 

appliance is grounded.

 

 

Failure to ground generator may lead to electric

 

 

shock.

DC application (For charging 12V battery only)

 

 

0 DC receptacle is used only for charging a 12V

 

 

battery.

 

 

0 Connection of battery charging cables :

 

 

Using the attached DC plug, connect its positive and

 

 

negative terminals to the corresponding battery

 

 

terminals.

0Battery charging procedures :

-Make the proper connection as mentioned above, be careful not to make a wrong connection. Be sure to disconnect all cables connected from battery to any other appliance.

-Remove all plugs from top of battery.

-Check electrolyte level and add distilled water if necessary, to bring the electrolyte level to the level marked "UPPER".

-Start engine to charge battery.

The charging time varies depending on the condition of

- .

discharge. The specific gravity of a battery electrolyte indicates the state of charge in each battery cell. While charging battery, check the specific gravity with a hydrometer, using a thermometer to correct hydrometer reading for temperature. A corrected specific gravity reading of 1.26 to 1.28 in all cells indicates a fully charged battery.

Example : In case of 12V-40Ah automobile battery, it takes 5 to 6 hours to bring a completely discharged battery to a state of full-charge.
