Ac Safety Switch; Safety Switch Tripping - PowerTec PT6600ES Instruction Manual

PT6600ES
WARNING: Prior to connecting any appliance to the
generator, check the rating label of the appliance.
The generator is rated at 6500W so if the appliance
being connected is higher than 6500W, the protective
cut out on the generator may operate to prevent over
load damage to the generator. The generator will
withstand short operation and loads up to 7000W or
the generator may stop if loads in excess of 6500W
are applied for more than a short period of time.
NOTE: Motorised products will require more energy
upon start up and products which are rated above
30% of the peak power output of the generator. It
should also be very clearly understood that output
voltage fluctuations will occur when various loads are
connected and disconnected. It is NOT
recommended to connect any electronic
equipment to the generator without a voltage or
surge protector.
Computers, televisions, and stereo equipment can be
very sensitive to the input supply and could be
damaged if protective equipment is not used in
conjunction with this generator. This also includes
caravans where electronic equipment is incorporated
as part of the wiring.

AC Safety Switch

This generator has been equipped with an AC safety
switch (4), designed to protect people against an
electric shock.

Safety Switch Tripping

If the safety switch (4) has tripped and cuts off the
power, it may be due to substantial overloading.
Marginal overloading may not switch off the safety
switch (4), but it will shorten the service life of the
generator.
Be sure that all appliances are in good working order
before connecting them to the generator. If an
appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes
sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn "OFF" both the AC
safety switch (4) and the generator engine switch (11)
immediately. Then disconnect the appliance and
examine it for signs of malfunction.
Resetting the safety switch (4) should restore the
power and should be conducted as follows:
1. Unplug all electrical apparatus from the generator.
2. Let the safety switch (4) cool down.
3. Lift the safety switch (4) up to the "ON" position.
4. Commence to start your generator accordingly.
5. When reconnecting appliances, reduce the load
to that which previously overloaded the generator.
If the safety switch (4) does not reset due to a faulty
electrical appliance or wiring, switch off and unplug
the appliance which may be faulty. Any faulty
electrical appliances will need to be repaired by a
suitably qualified person. If the safety switch does not
reset after unplugging the appliance, call a licensed
electrician to find the fault.
