The 12V – 14V outlets are suitable to charge most size lead
acid type car batteries while the appliance outlet will run
most 12V appliances fitted with the car cigarette type plug,
rated up to 5A.
To use the appliance outlet
The appliance outlet will provide power to run most
appliances which plug directly into the car cigarette socket
up to a current rating of 5A. This includes spot lights up to
around 55W, small car type air compressors, small type
blowers and some small refrigerators etc. The output
voltage from the DC appliance outlet is between 12V and
14.2V, the same as a car.
WARNINGS
Check the rating of the appliance prior to inserting the plug
into the socket.
The plug from the appliance should always be fitted with an
internal fuse.
DO NOT attempt to insert a cigarette lighter into the socket.
1. Ensure the appliance to be connected is turned off.
2. Check the rating of the appliance is not above 5A or 60W.
3. Start the generator and allow the generator to warm up.
4. Open the cover on the
appliance socket and insert
the appliance plug (Fig. N).
5. Turn on the appliance.
Note.
If the appliance does not
operate, check the DC
reset button on the generator
control panel. Press the
button to reset.
Note.
The 12V appliance socket can also be used with
the 240V AC outlets being used.
To use the battery charging outlet
The generator is fitted with
a socket outlet specifically
for connection to a lead acid
battery for charging and also
for an additional power supply
(Fig. O).
The output voltage is between
12 – 14.2V with a maximum
output current of 5A.
The generator will charge lead
acid batteries of various sizes, from small to large.
DO NOT
charge the electric start battery mounted on the
generator with the out put from the battery charging socket
of the generator.
