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
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.
• 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.
