9. SETTING THE GENERATOR
9.9 SAFETY SWITCH TRIPPING - FIG.14
If the safety switch has tripped and cuts off the
power, it may be due to substantial overloading.
Marginal overloading may not switch off the safety
switch but it will shorten the service life of the
generator.
Be sure that all appliances are in good working order
before connecting them to the generator. If an
appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes
sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn “OFF” both the AC
circuit breakers and the generator engine switch
immediately. Then disconnect the appliance and
examine it for signs of malfunction.
Resetting the safety switch should restore the power
and should be conducted as follows:
1. Unplug all electrical apparatus from the generator.
2. Lift the safety switch up to the “ON” position.
3. Commence to start your generator accordingly.
4. When re connecting appliances, reduce the load to
that which previously overloaded the generator.
If the safety switch does not reset due to a faulty
electrical appliance or wiring, switch off and unplug
the appliance which may be faulty. Any faulty
electrical appliances will need to be repaired by a
suitably qualified person. If the safety switch does not
reset after unplugging the appliance, call a licensed
electrician to find the fault.
Immediately switch off the generator in case of:
* Excessive engine noise - knocking or rattling.
* Broken switches.
* Smoke or smell caused by scorched insulation other
than that through the exhaust.
9.10 OPERATION LOAD AND RATINGS
Please ensure that the load on the generator falls
within its capacity as specified in the table before
plugging in any power cords.
