WARNING
DO NOT leave battery charging unattended.
Charging battery for a long period of time can
damage the battery once the battery is full.
Over-charging or over-heating can damage the
battery, the water and acid solution can boil and
leak out of the battery.
DC overload cut out
CAUTION
Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator
can result in serious damage to your generator
and connected apparatus.
• The DC circuit has a circuit breaker to protect the generator from over loading.
• If the circuit breaker trips, unplug all electrical apparatus from the generator.
• Let the overload cut out switch to cool down and remove the load from the DC circuit.
• Press the DC reset button.
• When re-connecting the DC load, reduce the load which previously overloaded the
generator.
Note: Some batteries, depending on the size, battery condition or level or charge may
exceed the max current output from the generator and trip the overload DC circuit
breaker.
Carbon build up
Running the generator at low loads for extended periods can lead to carbon build-
up on the spark plug which may subsequently require cleaning. Carbon build up can
be a problem on generators as the loading on the motor can vary considerably. If the
generator has been used for less than 50% of rated load, there is a chance of carbon
build up developing. Carbon build up in the motor can be reduced by operating the
generator at approx. 75% of rated load for 25% of the time the generator is used.
