5. GENERATOR USE
M To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator
should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the ground
terminal and the ground source.
CAUTION: Limit operation requiring maximum power (5.5 KVA) to 30
minutes. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power of 5.0
KVA.
In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be
considered.
l
Connections for standby power to household circuits must be made by a
qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical
codes. Improper installation may result in personal injury or damage to
equipment or property.
Auto-throttle system
With the switch in the AUTO position, engine speed is automatically reduced
to an idle when all loads are turned off or disconnected. When appliances are
turned on or reconnected, the engine resumes the rated speed. At OFF, the
auto-throttle system does not operate.
NOTE:
l
AUTO is recommended to minimize fuel consumption.
l
The auto-throttle system will not respond to electrical loads of less than 1
ampere.
l
The system is not effective for use with appliance that requires only
momentary power. To avoid extended warm-up periods, keep the switch
OFF until the engine reaches operating temperature.
Engine Protection Circuit
If the oil or coolant level runs low during operation, the protection circuit will
automatically stop the engine to prevent damage.
If this occurs, add oil or coolant as required, push the reset button in, then
restart the engine.
OIL LAMP RESET BUTTON
CAUTION: If engine idle speed is set
too low, the protection circuit cannot
be activated while idling. The correct
idle speed is 2200 f 200 rpm.
