Power smart HB5046C Instruction Manual page 11

When the gasoline engine starts up warmly, the starting switch is rotated to put the starting
button in the "ON" position.
Ground Terminal
DANGER: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.
The ground terminal is connected to the ground wire to prevent electric shock.
The generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground. It helps prevent electrical
shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generating set or in connected electrical devices,
especially when the unit is equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also helps dissipate
static electricity, which often builds up in underground devices.
A ground terminal has been provided on the generating set. For remote grounding, connect of a length of
heavy gauge(4mm 2 12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generating set ground terminal and a
copper rod driven into the ground.
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the unit. We strongly recommend that you
consult with a qualified electrician for grounding requirements in your area.
Neutral Floating*
–– Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the engine crankcase/ground of the inverter generator.
–– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the engine crankcase and from the AC receptacle ground
pin.
–– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will not function if the receptacle
ground pin is not functional.
Neutral Bonded to Frame*
–– Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground of the generator.
–– The generator system ground connects lower frame cross-member below the alternator. The system
ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.
Fuel Tank Cap
Remove the fuel tank cap by rotating it anticlockwise to add fuel.
Parallel Operation
Make sure that the generating set is in a good running state before connecting it to other generating sets.
The total power of electric devices should not exceed rated power of generating set.
When electric motor starts, the overload indicator (red) will light up and normally it will stop within4
seconds. If it cannot stop, please call 1-872-314-0005 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST or email:
support@powersmartusa.com & support@amerisuninc.com for customer service.
During parallel operation, energy-saving switches of generating sets should be in the same position. To
parallel operation, perform the following steps:
1. Connect one generating set to other generating set(s) in parallel. Use the parallel kit to make the parallel
connection (the parallel kit needs to be purchased separately).
2. Start the engine in proper order and make sure that the running indicator (green) is normal.
3. Connect the plug of electric devices to the AC receptacle of parallel kit.
4. Run the electric devices.
