exceed that of the generator, Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels
between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 5 minutes.
NOTICE
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum
power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF,
but will shorten the service life of the generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 5 minutes.
Maximum power is: See specifications. (Page 21)
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is: See specifications. (Page 21)
In either case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must be considered.
Appliance and power tool manufactures usually list rating information near the model number or serial
number.
AC Operation
1. Start the engine.
2. Switch ON the AC circuit breaker.
3. Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated wattage for startup. Do not exceed the
current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker to
switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait a few minutes and then reset the
circuit-breaker.
DC operation
The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries.
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide
adequate ventilation when charging or using batteries.
Connecting the battery cables:
1. Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the
vehicle’s grounded battery cable.
2. Connect the positive (+) battery cable to the battery positive (+) terminal.
3. Connect the other end of the positive (+) battery cable to the generator positive (+) terminal.
4. Connect the negative (-) battery cable to the battery negative (-) terminal.
5. Connect the other end of the negative (-) battery cable to the generator negative (-) terminal.
6. Start the generator.
NOTICE
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cables are connected and the generator is
running. The vehicle or the generator may be damaged.
An overloaded DC circuit, excessive current draw by the battery, or wiring problem will trip the DC
circuit protector (PUSH button extends out). If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing in the
circuit protector to resume operation. If the circuit protector continues to go OFF, discontinue charging
and contact your authorized generator dealer.
