Global Machinery Company GEN2300ES Connecting apparatus to the generator, Charging the battery

Connecting apparatus to the generator

1.Start the engine. Allow the motor to run for a couple of minutes to warm up prior to connecting any apparatus to the generator.

2.For AC current, ensure the

safety switch (4) is turned I

OFF first, then plug the power cord into the AC output socket (8) (Fig. I).

3.Switch the AC safety switch

(4) to the ‘ON’ position. Note: ALWAYS use three-pronged plugs for AC apparatus.

CAUTION.
	J
• Ensure the electric
apparatus is turned off
before plugging in.

•Check to ensure that the total load is within the generator rated output.

3.For DC current, plug into the DC outlet socket (9)

(Fig. J). To charge your car battery, connect the DC plug (19) which have alligator clips to the corresponding terminals on your battery. The red lead goes to the positive

(+) terminal and the black lead goes to the negative (-) terminal. This DC cord has been supplied with the unit.

Note. This usage is applicable for charging only 12V batteries. Only use the DC plug (19) to charge lead acid type batteries. DO NOT charge Nicad or any other type of batteries.

Charging the battery

1.Disconnect the leads from the battery.

2.Fully loosen the battery fluid filler caps.

3.Fill the battery cells with distilled water to the upper limit if the battery is empty.

4. Measure the specific gravity fluid by using a hydrometer and calculate the charging time in accordance with the table shown.

5. For a fully charged battery, the specific gravity range shall be within 1.26 to 1.28. It is recommended to be checked and confirmed every hour.

6. Connect the DC plug lead (19) into the DC socket (9) and connect the alligator clips to the correct polarity.

Press the DC reset button (5) to reset in case the DC supply had previously been overloaded.

The generator will charge batteries up to 600CCA capacity provided the battery is in reasonable condition.

Batteries of larger capacity may charge but will depend on the condition and also the level of charge in the battery.

In cases where the current exceeds the rating of the generator, the circuit breaker on the DC side will open circuit, and will need to be reset to continue.
