USING ELECTRIC POWER
AC APPLICATION
1. Check the voltmeter or pilot lamp for proper voltage.
● This generator is thoroughly tested and adjusted in the factory. If the
generator does not produce the specified voltage, consult your nearest
HITACHI dealer.
2. Turn off the switch(es) of the electrical appliance(s) before connecting to the
generator.
3. Insert the plug(s) of the electrical appliance(s) into the receptacle.
● Use 16 ampere type receptacles.
● Be sure that the total wattage of all appliances does not exceed the rated
output of the generator.
WARNING: Be sure to ground the generator if the connected electrical
equipment is grounded.
4. Turn the AC no fuse breaker "ON".
NOTE: When the AC no-fuse breaker turns off during operation, the
generator is overloaded or the appliance is defective.
Stop the generator immediately, check the appliance and/or
generator for overloading or defect and repair as necessary.
5. Check to the AC no-fuse breaker is "ON".
If the breaker is "OFF", set the breaker "ON".
Pilot lamp will illuminate.
DC APPLICATION
This usage is applicable to 12V battery charging only.
1. Charging instruction for battery
● Disconnect the leads for the battery.
● Make the battery fluid filler cap loose fully.
● Fill distilled water to the upper limit, if the battery fluid is low level.
● Measure the specific gravity for the battery fluid by using the hydrometer,
and calculate the charging time in according with the table shown on
right side (Fig. 18).
● The specific gravity for the fully charged battery shall be within 1.26 to
1.28. It is recommended to confirm every one hour.
2. Connect between the DC output terminals and the battery terminals using
the charging leads.
● The leads shall be connected making sure of the (+) and (–) polarity.
CAUTION:
● The battery shall be handled in the well ventilated area avoiding fire or
flammable material.
● Special attention shall be paid to the battery fluid not stuck to the eye or
skin.
● The temperature of the battery fluid shall be maintained to 45˚C or less,
because of prevention for functional deterioration.
