OPERATION
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
There may be General or State Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes or
ordinances that apply to the intended use of the product.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or
the local agency having jurisdiction:
In some areas, products are required to be registered with
local utility companies.
If the product is used at a construction site, there may be
additional regulations which must be observed.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACKS
See Figure 2.
The power station has a total of eight battery ports, but will
function even if only one battery pack is installed. The more
batteries installed, however, the greater the amount of power
available and/or length of run or charge time provided, up to
the full capacity noted in the Product Specifications section
of this manual. For best performance, use at least four 4Ah
or greater batteries.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition and
should be charged before first use.
To install:
Insert a battery pack into the power source as shown.
Make sure the latches on the battery pack snap into place
and the battery pack is secured in the power source be-
fore beginning operation.
Repeat to install additional battery packs as desired.
To remove:
Depress the latches on the battery pack and remove.
CHARGING THE POWER STATION
See Figures 2 - 4.
Install the desired number of battery packs.
NOTE: If not using all of the available battery slots, the
location of the batteries installed does not matter and will
not affect power station charging performance.
Connect the charger cord to the power station, then plug
the charger into a standard electrical outlet that is nominal
120/60 Hz AC (typical U.S. household type circuit).
Once the charging cable is connected and plugged in,
sequential charging of the batteries will begin.
NOTE: If connecting the charger immediately after using
the power station at a high AC load, the battery tempera-
ture may be outside the acceptable charging range and
cause the LCD display to show an error condition. If this
occurs, charging will begin automatically once the battery
temperature reaches an acceptable level.
An LED light located at the top of each battery port will
indicate the status of each battery. Refer to the Battery
Port LED Functions chart for a description of the lights.
In addition to the LED indicator, the LCD screen will also
provide information about the battery and charging status
of the power station.
