GENERATOR USE
Connections to a Building Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNING: Improper connections to a building electrical system will allow electrical current from
the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feedwill electrocute utility
company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the
generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult the
utility company or a qualified electrician.
Ground System
Generators have a system circuit that connects generator frame components to the ground
terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system circuit is not connected to the AC neutral
wire. If the generator is tested by a receptacle tester, it will show the same ground circuit
condition as for a home receptacle.
AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
•Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can become
hazardous and cause electrocution.
•If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, operates sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it
off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the
appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
•Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not 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 30 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 or circuit protector OFF, but will shorten the service life of the
generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes. For continuous operation (longer than
30 minutes), do not exceed the rated power.The total power requirements (kW) of all
appliances connected must be considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list
rating information near the model number or serial number.
AC Operation
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the voltage selector switch to either position.
10
With the voltage selector switch in the ‘‘120/240V’’ position, you can use the 120V and
120/240V receptacles simultaneously. If you are NOT using the 120/240V receptacle, but
require more power from the 120V locking plug receptacle, then select the ‘‘120V ONLY’’
position.
3. Switch the AC circuit breaker ON.
4. Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for startup.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit causes
the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the
circuit, wait a few minutes and then reset the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector.
AC Receptacle Selection
The generator has two separate main power producing circuits. These two circuits supply equal
power to different receptacles shown when the voltage selector switch is in the 120/240V
position.
When two or more receptacles are used; to prevent overloading, dividing the load between the
two power circuits.
Example:
The chart below shows the rated load in amperes that can be connected to each receptacle to
balance the generator.
For Example, we have one model of generator whose total rated ampere draws65A.
Main power circuit
Receptacles powered by
each main circuit
Power distribution
Main Circuit I2, 4 and 6
2＋4＋6=32.5A rated.
Main Circuit II1,3 and 5
1＋3＋5=32.5A rated.
The table shows the specifications when the
120/240V locking plug receptacle is used for
120V.
Receptacle 1 has a 20A load connected to it.
Receptacle 3 has a 15A load connected to it. Both
receptacles are powered by mainpower circuit II.
The equation tells us that the total power draw on
circuit II is 35A. This is a substantial overload of
this circuit. Toeliminate the excess power draw on
circuit II, the load fromreceptacle 3 should be
switched to receptacle 2. Now circuit I ispowering
the 20A load (less than 32.5A) and circuit II is
powering
a
1 5 A
load(lessthan32.5A).
11
DC Operation
The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotivetype batteries.
Connecting the battery cables:
1. Before connecting the battery charging cables to a battery that is
installed in a vehicle battery, disconnect the vehicle ground battery cable from the battery
negative (－) terminal.
WARNING:The battery gives off explosive
gases; keep sparks, flames and
cigarettes away. Provide adequate
ventilation when charging or using
batteries.
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
2. Connect the positive (＋) battery cable to
the automotive battery positive (＋)terminal.
3. Connect the negative (－) battery cable to
the automotive battery negative (－)terminal.
4. Make sure circuit breaker is off.
5. Start the generator.
NOTICE:Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable isconnected and the
generator is running. The vehicle or the generator may be damaged.
An overloaded DC circuit, excessive current draw by the battery, or a 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 DC circuit protector continues to go
OFF, discontinue charging and see your authorized generator dealer.
Disconnecting the battery cables:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Disconnect the negative (－) battery cable from battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (＋) battery cable from battery.
Auto Throttle System
With the switch in the ON position, engine speed is automaticallyreduced when ALL loads are
turned OFF or disconnected. Whenappliances are turned ON or reconnected, the engine
returns to ratedspeed. In the OFF position, the auto throttle system does not operate.
