EXCEEDING THE CURRENT LOAD-CAPACITY
OF THE GENERATOR
y When the generator is loaded above its max. power out-
put, the circuit breaker may not necessarily be triggered,
but rather the engine may be throttled. The power out-
put of the generator is given by the rating of the alterna-
tor and not by the shut-off current of the circuit breaker.
DRAWING DIRECT CURRENT
(DC 12 V, 8.3 A)
The 12 V/8.3 A DC power socket (fig.1, position 8) is
intended for recharging 12 V lead car batteries with the
use of 12 V charging cables with crocodile clips.
1. Turn off the engine of the vehicle, turn off all tur-
ned on electrical devices inside the vehicle.
2. Check that the power cable is not inserted in the
12 V power socket of the generator before con-
necting the car battery. According to the require-
ments of EN IEC 603352-2-29 the charging cables
must first be connected to the car battery and then
to the power source.
3. Before connecting the charging cables to the car
battery terminals, first identify which battery ter-
minal is grounded, i.e. connected to the chassis
(frame) of the vehicle.
On most modern vehicles the grounded negative
electrode of the car battery is marked with the
symbol "–". In this case, first connect the alligator
clip with the red charging cable to the non-groun-
ded positive pole of the battery ("+") and then con-
nect the alligator clip of the black charging cable
("–") to the chassis (frame) of the vehicle. Do not
connect the alligator clip to the carburettor, fuel
line or sheet metal parts of the chassis, always use
massive solid metal parts of the frame or the engi-
ne block (requirement EN IEC 60335- 2- 29).
y In the event that the positive electrode of the car
battery is grounded, then first connect the black
charging cable with the alligator clip ("–") to the
negative electrode of the car battery and then con-
nect the alligator clip with the red charging cable
("+") to the chassis (frame) of the vehicle, whilst adhe-
ring to all the measures described above (require-
ment of EN IEC 60335-2-29).
y Take care that the charging cables are correctly con-
nected to the terminals of the car battery. Connect
the clamp of the red cable to the positive terminal
and the clamp of the black cable to the negative ter-
minal of the car battery.
4. Finally, insert the end of the charging cable into
the 12 V power socket of the generator.
When charging car batteries, follow the instructions
of the car battery's manufacturer.
EN
Do not start the engine of the motor vehicle and
do not turn on electrical devices inside the vehicle
during the recharging process.
•
ATTENTION
y If there is no voltage in the 12 V power socket, press
the button on the DC circuit breaker.
•
ATTENTION
y The generators do not have car battery over-char-
ging protection and, therefore, regularly check the
voltage on the car battery terminals using a volt-
meter, with the charging cables disconnected. The
terminal voltage on the car battery should not be
greater than 14.4 V. The 12 V DC power output of the
generator is not intended for charging any other bat-
teries than 12 V lead car batteries.
•
ATTENTION
y Hydrogen is produced during the car battery rechar-
ging process, which together with air creates an
explosive mixture. Therefore, do not smoke during
the recharging process and prevent access to any
flame or radiant heat sources. Ensure sufficient venti-
lation during the charging process.
y A car battery contains a sulphuric acid solution,
which is a strong caustic agent, which causes chemi-
cal burns and tissue damage. When handling a car
battery, use suitable protective equipment, as a mini-
mum rubber gloves and safety glasses. Never eat or
drink while handling the car battery.
y In the event that skin comes into contact with
electrolyte, immediately wash it under running water
and then wash with soap. In the event that this acid
solution is ingested, drink 200 ml of clean unflavou-
red still water and immediately contact a medical
doctor or the Toxicological information centre.
y In the event of a short circuit, e.g. accidental connec-
tion of the alligator clips +/– of the charging cable or
overloading by drawing a greater current, the direct
current circuit breaker will be triggered (fig. 1, posi-
tion 7). To restore current supply, first eliminate the
cause of the short circuit or overloading and then
press the circuit breaker button (fig. 1, position 7).
5. Prior to disconnecting the charging cables from
the car battery, first disconnect the charging cables
from the generator and then from the car battery.
When disconnecting the cables from the car batte-
ry first disconnect the alligator clip of the charging
cable from the grounded pole of the car battery
and then the alligator clip of the ungrounded pole
of the car battery (requirement EN IEC 60335-2-29).
