STARTING PROCEDURE
Step 1 - Connections
1. Remove the white and blue plugs which respec-
tively protect the generator hydrogen supply
socket (7) and the reactor fan power supply
socket (6).
- Pull on the white cap to extract it.
- Unscrew the blue cap turning counterclock-
wise
2. Connect the hydrogen supply pipe (14) to the
fitting in the center of the reactor cover (12). The
hose is connected by pushing it into its fitting
until it stops. To disconnect, push the ring of the
fitting back while pulling gently on the pipe.
3. Connect the hydrogen supply pipe (14) to the
female connector of the generator (7). The con-
nection is of the "bayonet" type socket. It is in-
serted vertically then locks by turning clockwise
until it stops.
4. Connect the reactor fan power cable (13) to the
generator socket (6). The socket is fitted with a
positioning pin. Do not force the socket. This
should fit easily into its counterpart when the pin
is correctly aligned.

8v2021-02-1.09EN
Step 2 - Preparation of the hydrogen
reaction
1. Unscrew the reactor cap (12) by turning it coun-
terclockwise.
Note: make sure that all connections
(electrical and gas) between the genera-
tor and the reactor cap are done before the fill-
ing procedure.
2. Fill the measuring cup (18) with water up to the
upper mark. Pour the water into the reactor (11)
Note: the recommended amount of wa-
ter is 7.77 oz. The measuring cup is cal-
ibrated for this exact volume. The volume of
water in the reactor must be between the two
lower and upper visible marks on the internal
face of the reactor. In no circumstances should
the volume of water exceed the upper mark,
which would cause water flowing into the fuel
cell.
Note: it is recommended that the initial water temperature is not higher
than 95°F (35°C) to avoid a too rapid chemical reaction, favoring water
splashes.
3. Open the vacuum foil packaging of the reactant
bag (17), without using any sharp object (ie. scis-
sors). The vacuum wrap is designed to be hand
torn at the side notch.
Note: In the event a reactant bag is damaged or torn opened when
opening its vacuum-packed packaging, do not use it. Set aside in a
dry place, avoiding contact with water. Using a damaged reactant bag
could cause an uncontrolled hydrogen production reaction with high heat
production.
4. Insert vertically the reactant bag into the reactor
(11). The hydrogen production starts at contact

9v2021-02-1.09EN
with water.The start-up time depends on the water
temperature. The higher is the water temperature,
the faster the reaction starts. Upon water
temperature, typical start-up times are:
- at 34°F (1°C), 90 seconds
- at 41°F (5°C), 60 seconds
- at 68°F (20°C), 23 seconds
- at 95°F (35°C), 8 seconds
- at 113°F (45°C), 7 seconds
5. Close the reactor cap (12) by rotating it clock-
wise until it stops (fingers tied). Close the reactor
cap immediately after putting the reactant bag, be-
fore the reaction starts, to avoid water splashes.
Note: it is preferable to close the reactor
quickly after putting the water and the bag in-
side. During the first seconds of the reaction
between the water and the bag, the bag inflates
accompanied by significant venting. This phe-
nomenon is normal. This can cause water to
splash outside the reactor if it is not closed by
its cap. Therefore, it is recommended to have
the necessary equipment available to wipe up
any water spills. A spill or projection of water
from the system is not dangerous and does
not interfere with the normal operation of the
product.
Note: in rare cases, a bag may inflate more suddenly than normal on con-
tact with water, promoting initial overflow of water from the reactor. This
does not disturb the operation of the product, and it is then recommended
to quickly close the reactor with its cap.
Note: the reactor cap is fitted with an internal valve which allows the pres-
sure in the system to be limited by discharging the hydrogen produced in
excess. This hydrogen is evacuated through the circular slit visible on the
cap. It is possible that water will also spill through this slit. This is normal
and does not interfere with the proper functioning of the product. The
valve, when opening suddenly, may make a clicking noise. This phenome-
non is normal.

10 v2021-02-1.09EN
Step 3 - Getting started
1. The red and green LED indicators light up sim-
ultaneously for 2 seconds to indicate proper oper-
ation.
2. The green LED indicator (9) flashes: the system
is starting up, the USB (2) and cigarette lighter (3)
electrical outlets are not yet active.
3. After a period of approximately 60 seconds, the
green LED indicator will remain continuously on:
the electric generator is operational and the USB
and cigarette lighter sockets are active and can be
used.
Note: The electric generator starts automati-
cally the moment hydrogen begins to feed the
internal fuel cell.
Note: the duration of the start-up phase is ap-
proximately 60 seconds. This period may vary
depending on parameters such as the outside
temperature, the quality of the water, the
length of storage of the equipment. It is normal
to observe a start-up phase that is slightly less
or greater than 60 seconds.

11 v2021-02-1.09EN
Step 4 - Operation
1. The electrical outlets (2) and (3) are located on
the front of the electric generator (1).
2. The USB sockets (2) are accessible by un-
screwing their plugs covers. They are USB-A type
and provide a maximum current of 2.4 amps at an
electrical voltage of 5 volts.
3. The cigarette lighter sockets (3) are accessible
by pulling on their plugscovers. They are ISO4165
type and provide a maximum current of 2.5 amps
at an electrical voltage of 12 volts.
Note: The product does not have an on / off
switch. Its operation is controlled by the pro-
duction of hydrogen in the reactor. Once the
hydrogen production reaction has started, it
cannot be stopped until all the reactant bag is
consumed.
4- In the event of electrical over-consumption
(electrical power demanded exceeding the pro-
duction of hydrogen in the reactor), the generator
cuts the USB or cigarette lighter electrical outputs
according to the power measured on the sockets
and the red LED indicator lights up continuously.
It is necessary to disconnect the equipment caus-
ing over-consumption in order for the generator to
continue to operate.
Note: Reactant bags are designed to produce consistence hydrogen for
one hour. At the start of the chemical reaction, the production of hydrogen
is high enough to reach an electrical power of 45W for a few minutes. The
reaction then stabilizes, corresponding to an available electric power of 30
Watts for 60 minutes. From approximately 60 minutes after the start of the
reaction, the hydrogen production will gradually decrease, and the availa-
ble electric power will become less than 30W. The electric power will de-
crease in proportion to the production of hydrogen. Hydrogen production
will stop completely after approximately 100 minutes.

12 v2021-02-1.09EN
Note: A purge sound is heard periodically. This is part of the normal oper-
ation of the device. Likewise, a little water could appear at the base of the
device, at the level of the purge orifice (19). This phenomenon is normal.
Note: the device must always be used in an upright position and
placed on a stable surface. Never use the device at an angle beyond
10 degrees from vertical.
Note: never close the air inlet and outlet vents (4), nor the fan vents
(15), nor the purge port (19) while the device is in operation. This
could cause the fuel cell and / or the hydrogen reactor to overheat, causing
the device to malfunction.
Note: the chemical reaction between the reactant bag and water pro-
duces heat and hydrogen. Do not open the hydrogen reactor cap
within the first 60 minutes of the hydrogen reaction to avoid any risk of
burns. During this time, the generator shall remain connected to the reac-
tor for temperature control.

13 v2021-02-1.09EN
Step 5 - System shutdown
1. At the end of the chemical reaction, the produc-
tion of hydrogen is no longer sufficient to maintain
the nominal electric power.
2. The red LED indicator lights up flashing to indi-
cate the end of the chemical reaction of the reac-
tant bag in the reactor.
3. The USB and cigarette lighter electrical outlets
are automatically deactivated by the electric
generator.
4.Once theelectricaloutletsare disconnected,the
reactor's fan and internal electric generator’s fans
may continue to operate to manage the system’s
temperature. This is part of the normal operation
of the device.
5. The generator can be restarted immediately by
replacing the used reactant bag with a new one.
Check water level and refill if necessary, without
exceeding the top mark.
Note: The volume of the reactant bags increases in the reactor during hy-
drogen production. This phenomenon is normal. It is possible that a reac-
tant bag will tear inside the reactor. This does not impact the operation of
the device. Once the reaction is completed, it is safe to handle the reactant
bag because the powder, when used, is inert. The reactant bag will then be
disposed normally.

14 v2021-02-1.09EN
Step 6 - Draining the reactor
1. Disconnect the electrical plug (13) and the hy-
drogen pipe (14) from the reactor.
2. Open the reactor cap (12) by turning it counter-
clockwise.
Note: the reactor seal is made up of two parts
(lower and upper) which must not be separated
under any circumstances. To open the cap,
grasp the entire cap to its full height. It must
be unscrewed a quarter of a turn without re-
quiring excessive strength.
Note: The reactor cap may be hot after
use. Act cautiously.
3. Drain the reactor: remove the reactant bag first
by grasping it by its upper end. Then drain the wa-
ter from the reactor. It is possible to remove the
reactor from its holder to facilitate the emptying op-
eration.
Note: the water and the reactant bag
contained in the reactor may be hot.
Take the necessary precautions when empty-
ing the reactor to avoid any risk of burns.
4. For better device protection / maintenance, put
back the protective covers over the sockets (6)
and (7). If the cover of the socket (7) is missing, it
is advised to leave the hydrogen supply pipe con-
nected even when the device is not in use, in order
to prevent particles from entering the gas circuit’s
supply to the fuel cell.

15 v2021-02-1.09EN
Care and maintenance
The device does not require special maintenance. Following the recommended
use and storage procedures in this manual is the most reliable method to ensure
the best longevity of your device.
Note: Do not use liquids containing solvents, soap or surfactants to clean
the reactor (11) and generator (1). Do not use hard or abrasive surfaces to
clean the device.
The reactor does not require specific cleaning during its entire service life. Rins-
ing the internal part of the reactor and the cap with clean water every two or three
cycles of use is sufficient.
During normal use, a deposit of white matter may gradually appear on the inter-
nal surface of the reactor. This is a normal phenomenon and it is not necessary
to remove this deposit to maintain the performance of the product. If you, how-
ever, wish to remove this deposit, use a non-abrasive plastic object (brush, spat-
ula, etc.) without pressing strongly on the internal surface in order to not damage
the protective coating of the internal face of the reactor.
If the reactor seal O-ring shows signs of contamination, remove it to clean it with
clean water, then replace it.
Note: do not use a compressed air device to clean the generator vents (4).
Doing so may damage the internal fuel cell.
Store the device away from humidity and dust, at a temperature between 32 °F
(0°C) and 113 °F (45°C). Store the device in the protective plastic bag in which
it was delivered, the bag must be closed. This will ensure the best longevity for
your device.
Problems shooting / solving
In the event of a device malfunction, contact your dealer for an inspection indi-
cating the serial number of the device. The serial number is located on the un-
derside of the electric generator.
