Note: If an overloaded circuit causes the AC Circuit Breaker to switch off, reduce the electrical load on the circuit and wait a few minutes before resetting the circuit breaker.

7.The DC terminal may be used to operate 12 Volt DC portable appliances only.

CAUTION! Do not use this generator to charge 12VDC batteries. Directly charging a 12 Volt battery may cause the battery to overheat and possibly explode. CAUTION: Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with this generator. Voltage back feed from the alternator may damage the generator.

Note: The DC terminal may be used while the AC power is in use. An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit protector (push button comes out). If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing in the circuit protector to resume operation.

8.Disconnect all loads from the generator before shutting off. To prevent accidents, turn off the engine and disconnect its spark plug wire after use. Wait for the engine to cool, clean external parts with clean cloth, then store the equipment out of children’s reach according to the Storage instructions in this manual.
