* Allow three (3) times the listed running watts for starting theses
devices.
NOTE:
When an electric motor is started, the "OVERLOAD" LED may
light up for up to five (5) seconds (this is normal). If it stays on, a
fault has occurred. Remove all loads and shut down generator to
reset the alarm. Restart the generator. If the "OVERLOAD" LED
remains lit, contact a Generac Dealer for assistance.
USING THE FLEXPOWER™ SWITCH
When the accessories connected to the generator are going to be
used intermittently (such as a hand drill), the FlexPower™ switch
can be pushed to the “ON” (I) position. This will lower the generator
engine speed when loads are not being applied, saving fuel, reducing
engine wear and extending runtime.
USING THE 12 VDC BATTERY CHARGER
The 12 VDC receptacle may be used to recharge 12 VDC automotive
batteries only. The DC charging output is not regulated. The circuit
protector does not prevent over-charging a battery.
1. Connect the charging cable to the generator first, then the
battery, ALWAYS connecting the red lead to positive (+) and the
black to negative (-).
Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks or
any other source of heat around a battery. Wear
protective goggles, rubber apron and rubber
gloves when working around a battery. Battery
electrolyte fluid is an extremely corrosive
sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe
burns. If a spill occurs, flush area with clear
water immediately.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will
remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
n
NEVER reverse the polarity when connecting
the battery terminals to the charging jack.
Severe damage may occur to the generator
and battery.
2. Keep the FlexPower™ switch in the “OFF” (O) position.
3. Start the generator and use it as normal. Charging time will vary
with battery size and condition. Check the voltage at the battery
terminals once the charging cable has been unplugged or the
generator has been shut down.
NOTE:
This receptacle can not recharge 6-Volt batteries and can not be
used to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
SHUTTING DOWN
Once the generator is no longer needed it can be shut down.
1. Switch off any devices connected to the generator. Unplug any
cords to the 120 VAC duplex outlets or the 12 VDC plug.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” (O) position (Figure 7). A switch
behind the fuel valve grounds the ignition system, stopping the
engine and the fuel supply is shut off.
3. Close the vent on the fuel cap.
4. Allow the generator to cool before moving or storing.
