240V 15A AC OUTLET
- This outet is capable of delivering generators full output or 15
Amps, whichever is the lesser
GROUND TERMINAL
- The frame terminal can be used by a licensed electrician to earth
the generator if necessary.
Generator set up
Planning the power load
Plan your power load so that you do not exceed the generator’s rated capacity. To
calculate the running and starting wattage requirements for the devices you will be
powering, follow the steps on page 21.
Set up as a portable power source
This generator is designed to provide up to its max power (in watts) of electrical power.
When using the generator as a portable power source, you can plug electric devices and
appliances directly into the generator’s electrical outlets. This generator is equipped with
one SAA approved IP44 rated socket outlet.
Make sure you plug each electrical device/appliance into the correct generator outlet
based on the device’s plug configuration and voltage/amperage rating. Never exceed the
amperage rating of an outlet. Note: you must not overload the generator. Overloading
may cause serious damage to the generator and attached electrical devices.
Grounding the generator
!
WARNING
In order to avoid electrical accidents, all
connections to the distribution panel must be
carried out by qualified technicians. Incorrect
connections can harm people and damage the
generator.
Operating the generator when it’s not properly
grounded can result in electrical shock.
Standard generators are protected by electrical separators. This equipment has a
thermic protection device and/or a magnetothermic device to protect against a surge of
current, overloading and short-circuiting. In these cases the Generator should under no
circumstances be earthed using the terminal PE (ground) or with any other part of the
generator.
If a licensed electrician installs the generator with a connection to your building’s
electrical circuit for use as a back-up power system, grounding may alternatively be
completed through the building’s grounding system. Ask your electrician.
