faulty or the appliances’ required power is greater than
the generators’ rated output, check the appliance wattage
requirements, refer page 14 or have the appliance check by
a service technician.
12V DC and USB OUTLETS
Your generator is equipped with a DC output circuit breaker,
which covers both the 12V DC socket and the USB twin sockets.
This circuit breaker will “pop” out if the attached appliance is
either faulty or the appliances’ required power need is greater
than the generators’ DC power output.
To reset the circuit breaker and restart the power supply;
1. Remove the appliance.
2. Push the circuit breaker, Pic. 17, back in, it should stay in.
If not the circuit breaker is still over heated, allow to cool
down for another 2 minutes before trying again to push it in.
