A .120 V, 15 Ampere Duplex Receptacle
15 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the
receptacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within
nameplate ratings.
B.Circuit Breaker
The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs,
the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all
electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem
before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading
causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:
Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause
damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may
be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.
C.Engine Switch
D.Battery Charger
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH GEL PACK,
SEALED OR SMALL (MOTORCYCLE) BATTERIES.
This generator contains an additional circuit used for
battery charging purposes. A DC accessory receptacleis
provided on the control panel. A battery charging cable
equipped with a matching plug for this receptacle has been
supplied with the unit. Line up metal prongs on plug with
arrows on receptacle to secure.
The battery charger on this generator is referred to as an
unregulated taper charger - the most widely used in the market
today. The amount of current flowing will depend on the
charging voltage and battery's state of charge. As the battery
becomes more fully charged, the output current to the battery
decreases and nearly becomes constant. Taper chargers are
intended to be used with the provision that they will be
disconnected from the battery after a maximum time on charge.
Normally a period of 30 to 120 minutes is sufficient to recharge
a weak battery. The charge level of the battery should be
checked periodically.
CAUTION: This battery charging system is
intended to recharge weak batteries, not to
"boost start" vehicles. Do not overcharge
battery or leave battery unattended.
Note: When the battery charger circuit is in use, the AC
capacity is reduced by 180 watts. Make sure the combined
load is within the rated limits.
Before charging a storage battery, check the electrolyte
fluid level in all the cells. Add distilled water to each cell, if
necessary, to bring the level back up to the manufacturer's
required level.
WARNING: Storage batteries give off
EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas while charging.
Do not allow smoking, open flames,sparks,
or spark producing equipment in the area
while charging.
Use cables approved for battery charging. Connect a red
clip to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect a black clip
to the negative terminal of the battery. Connect the other end
of the cable to the DC accessory receptacle on the generator
panel. After the battery is fully charged, remove the battery
charging cable from the generator and then disconnect from the
battery posts.
WARNING: Battery electrolyte fluid is
comprised of sulfuric acid that can be very
dangerous and cause severe burns. Do not
allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,
etc. If contact or spillage does occur, flush
the area with water immediately.
WARNING: Do not continue to charge a
battery that becomes hot or is fully charged.
DC CIRCUIT BREAKER: The maximum current available
from the battery charger circuit is 15 amps. An automatic DC
circuit breaker has been provided to protect the circuit from
overloads and assure that the battery gets recharged. If an
overload occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. After it cools, it will
automatically reset itself. The battery's maximum rate of
charge will eventually reduce to less than 15amps and then to
zero as the battery approaches a 100 percent state of charge.
