6.Once the engine has been operating for 10-15 seconds, slowly return the choke lever back to the right hand side position. This position will switch the choke ‘off’.

Note: If the generator stops, move the choke back to the full left hand side and repeat the starting operation..

Stopping the engine

1.Before stopping, ensure that no electrical apparatus is connected to the generator.

2.Press “O” on the engine switch

(6) to ‘stop’ the engine.

3. Turn the fuel tap (4) anti- clockwise to the ‘off’ position.

Connecting apparatus to the generator - AC

1.Start the engine. Allow the engine to run for a couple of minutes to warm up prior to connecting any apparatus to the generator. The green power on light (12) will illuminate when the generator is operational and power is available at the socket.

2.For AC current, plug the power cord into the AC output socket (10).

Connecting apparatus to the generator - DC

This generator is fitted with a 13.8V DC regulator. The DC output should only be used for the purpose of charging suitable lead acid car batteries. Do Not use the DC of the generator for any other purpose than to charge batteries.

When charging lead acid batteries it is important that you adhere to these important safety tips:

Do Not attempt to charge any other type of batteries.

Do Not use the DC output when 240V output is in use.

Do Not charge batteries while they are connected to a vehicle. Make sure they have been totally disconnected prior to connecting to the generator for recharging.

Do Not charge the battery in a confined space. The charge area should be open with adequate ventilation.

Prior to charging, remove the filler caps and top up the cells with distilled water to the correct level if needed.

To charge your car battery, connect the 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. The generator will charge batteries up to 500CCA 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 re set to continue. (Refer to the AC and DC overload cut out section of this manual).

Note: Only use the DC leads provided with this generator, when using the DC output.

WARNING. Prior to connecting any product to the generator, check the rating label of the product. The generator is rated at 650W so if the product being connected is higher than 650W, the protective cut out on the generator may operate to prevent over load damage to the generator. The generator will withstand short operation and spikes up to 800W.

It should also be very clearly understood that output voltage fluctuations will occur when various loads are connected
