Stopping the engine
1. Before stopping, ensure that no
electrical apparatus is connected
to the generator.
2. Turn the engine switch to the
‘stop’ position.
3. Turn the fuel cock lever anti
clockwise to the ‘off’ position.
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, plug the
powercord into the AC output
socket (10).
3. For DC current, plug into the
DC outlet socket (9) located
on the side of the generator.
To charge your car battery,
connect the 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.
Warning. Prior to connecting any appliance to the
generator, check the rating label of the appliance. The
generator is rated at 650W so if the appliance being
connected is higher than 650W, the protective cut out on
the generator may operate to prevent over load damage to
the generator. The generator will withstand short operation
and spikes up to 850W.
It should also be very clearly understood that output
voltage fluctuations will occur when various loads are
connected and disconnected. It is NOT recommended to
connect any electronic equipment to the generator without
a voltage or surge protector. Computers, Televisions, and
stereo equipment can be very sensitive to the input supply
and could be damaged if protective equipment is not used
in conjunction with this generator.
AC and DC overload cut out
Important: Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator
can result in serious damage to your generator and
connected apparatus.
1. Each receptacle has a circuit breaker to protect the
generator from over loading.
2. If the circuit breaker trips, unplug all electrical
apparatus from the generator.
3. Let the overload cut out switch cool down.
4. If it is an AC apparatus causing the overload push the
AC circuit breaker button (11). If it is the DC apparatus
press the “red” DC circuit breaker button (12) located
on the side of the generator. Commence to start your
generator accordingly.
5. When re connecting appliances, reduce the load to that
which previously overloaded the generator.
