Connection to alternating current (AC)
• Allow the generator to run for a few minutes before connecting electrical devices.
• Do not exceed the load capacity of the generator by connecting more electrical devices than the
device can handle.
• Do not switch on electrical devices until they are connected to the generator.
• Switch off all connected electrical devices before stopping the generator.
TIP: If the generator is connected to several loads or power consumers, please remember to connect
the one with the highest starting current first. and the one with the lowest starting current last.
Overload protection (3)
NOTE! This generator is fitted with an overload protector. This cuts off the 230V socket (7).
• Switch the device off.
• Reduce the total wattage of the connected electrical devices to the rated power.
• Check the air filter for contamination. If contamination is detected, remove it. (see air filter)
• Put the device back into operation.
Tip: The overload indicator lamp may initially light up for a few seconds when using electrical equip-
ment that requires a high starting current, such as a compressor or submersible pump. However,
this is not a malfunction.
