Connecting AC devices
The power consumption of the electrical device must
not exceed the continuous power rating of the genera-
tor. The maximum power may only be used for brief pe-
riods. Devices with electric motors require several times
the nominal power when starting up.
DANGER
Danger of electric shock
Electricity can flow through the operator and cause
death or injuries if the electrical equipment or cables are
damaged.
A fault current protection device (PRCD Portable Resid-
ual Current Device) must be connected between each
additional device and the generator if more than one de-
vice is plugged into the generator.
1. Start the generator.
2. Set the power switch to 1/ON.
3. Plug the mains plug of the electrical device into the
socket of the generator.
4. A fault current protection device (PRCD Portable
Residual Current Device) must be connected be-
tween each additional device and the generator if
more than one device is plugged into the generator.
5. Start the electrical device.
If the device does not function correctly, e.g. irregu-
lar running or misfires, immediately switch off and
unplug the connected appliances and investigate
the cause.
Charging vehicle batteries
The 12 V DC connection is only suitable for charging 12
V lead-acid automobile batteries. This connection is not
suitable for use as a 12 V power supply for electrical ap-
pliances.
1. Disconnect the vehicle minus cable (black) from the
battery.
2. Connect the plus terminal (red) of the charging ca-
ble to the plus terminal of the battery.
3. Connect the plus terminal (red) of the other end of
the charging cable to the red terminal (+) of the gen-
erator.
4. Connect the minus terminal (black) of the charging
cable to the minus terminal of the battery.
5. Connect the minus terminal (black) of the other end
of the charging cable to the black terminal (-) of the
generator.
