6.2 Connecting consumers to the generator

•
Connect the equipment you want to use to
the 230 V~sockets (7).
•
The generator is suitable for 230 V~ AC appli-
ances only.
•
Do not connect the generator to the
household mains system as this may result
in damage to the generator itself or to other
electrical appliances in your home.
Note: Some electrical appliances (power jigsaws,
drills, etc.) may have a higher level of power con-
sumption when used in diffi cult conditions.
If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of your ap-
pliance.

6.3 Overload cut-out 2 x 230 V socket-outlets

Important! The generator is fi tted with an
overload cut-out.
This shuts down the sockets (3).
Important! If this happens, reduce the electric
power you are taking from the generator or remo-
ve any defective connected appliances.
Important! Defective overload cut-outs must be
replaced only by overload cut-outs of identical
design and with the same performance data. If
repairs are necessary, please contact your custo-
mer service center.
