Start Procedure
Before starting the engine: a. Follow the Set Up Instruc-
tions to prepare the equip- ment. Follow all instructions in the separate tractor man- ual.
b. Inspect the generator and tractor.
c. Fill the tractor engine with the proper amount and type of fuel and oil.
1.Set the tractor on a flat surface. Set the brake on the tractor. Ensure that it is not in gear, and cannot move dur- ing operation.
2.Unplug all loads from the Generator before starting to prevent permanent damage to connected devices.
3.Start and operate the tractor accord- ing to the provided engine manual.
4.Engage the tractor PTO drive.
5.Set the tractor’s PTO speed to 540 RPM.
6.Test each GFCI outlet by pressing the TEST button. The green light on that outlet should go out. Then press the RESET button. The green light on that outlet should come back on. If either GFCI outlet does not function as described have a qualified electri- cian repair the generator before use.
7.With the devices turned OFF, plug the devices into the appropriate outlets.
CAUTION! Do not plug in or unplug electrical loads while the loads are turned on.
8.Turn on the devices one at a time from the largest to the smallest. Check the frequency meter reading on the Control Panel. If the reading has dropped below 60 Hz, do not connect any additional loads.
9.Be sure that all devices are in good working order before connecting them to the generator. If a device begins to operate abnormally, be- comes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the device. Then disconnect the device and examine it for signs of malfunction.
Note: If an overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker to switch off, re- duce the electrical load on the circuit and wait a few minutes before reset- ting the circuit breaker.
10.The DC terminal may be used operat- ing 12 VDC portable devices only.
WARNING: Do not use this generator to charge 12 VDC batteries without a charge controller. Directly charging a 12 Volt battery may cause the battery to overheat and possibly explode.
