Stopping the engine
1.Before stopping, ensure that no electrical apparatus is connected to the generator.
2.Turn the engine switch (7) to the ‘off’ position (Fig. M).

Connecting apparatus to the generator
Please note that it is not recommended to run the unit over its rated output of 850W for more than a maximum of 20 minutes.
AC Applications
1.Start the engine. Make sure the green output indicator light (14) comes on (it may take up to 3 seconds). Allow the motor to run for a couple of minutes to warm up prior to connecting any apparatus to the generator.
2.Ensure the apparatus/appliance switch is turned OFF. Then plug the power cord into the AC output socket (11) on the generator.
Note. Before connecting an apparatus/appliance make sure that;
•The apparatus/appliance is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential electrical shock.
•It is highly recommended to have a surge protector connected to the generator at all times.
•Check to make sure that the apparatus/appliance does not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator.
3. Switch the AC Smart Throttle
System (15) if required to theO ‘ON’ position (Fig. O).
Note.
Smart Throttle:
•The Smart Throttle System does not operate effectively if the electrical appliance requires the momentary electric power.
•When operating high electrical loads simultaneously turn the Smart Throttle System switch to the OFF position to reduce voltage change.
Overload Indicator:
•When the generator has an output required that exceeds it’s output an overload indicator light (13) will glow, providing a warning before cutting the engine out 20 seconds later.
CAUTION.
•Ensure the electric apparatus is turned off before plugging in.
•Check to ensure that the total load is within the generator rated output.
WARNING. Prior to connecting any appliance to the generator, check the rating label of the appliance. The generator is rated at 850W so if the appliance being connected is higher than 850W, the protective cut out may switch the generator off to prevent over load damage to the generator. The generator will withstand short operation up to 1000W for a maximum of 20 minutes.
Note. Motorised products will require more energy upon start up and products which are rated below 850W may not start if the starting current is excessive, this is not due to a performance fault of the generator.
