Note: You can

leave the plug
connected even
when the generator
is not operating.
Plug the charging
connector and IMPORTANT:
make sure the NEVER

the charging.

Generator electronics panel.

Charging:

Note that the alternator will adjust electronically for about one minute to the present
condition of the battery/batteries before charging starts.

Control Lamps:

The GREEN light must light up when the charging cable has been connected and the
START switch is pressed. It should stay on while the engine is running. If it the light
does turn off, re-activate the START switch and keep it pressed for a few seconds.

The YELLOW light will be on if the alternator is not capable of supplying sufficient
current and keeping charging output voltage level of approx. 14.1 volts. Momentary
lighting can be expected during normal operation of the FWD or HWD. This does not
indicate any problem with the generator.
If the lamp stays lighted for extended periods and the output voltage drops below 12.8
Volts, please increase the engine RPM (see picture below), which will normally solve
this problem.

The RED light would turn on if:

1. The alternator body temperature exceeds some 100 deg.C.
2. The output voltage drops below 12.8 volts or exceeds 15.2 volts.
In case of 1., the output current will automatically be reduced to 50% of the normal
charging level, thus reducing the alternator temperature to a safe level after some time,
causing the lamp to turn off again and the output current to return to normal level.
In case of 2., please increase or decrease engine RPM. See picture below:
