Run the cabin from the small generator
Why: The pump house batteries are low and need charging and there's not enough sunlight available to charge them.
Goals
- Run the small generator at the pump house to charge the batteries
CHECKLIST
- ☐ Move the small orange generator to the pavers in front of the pumphouse
- ☐ Start the generator
- Follow the instructions printed on the generator
- Open the vent on the gas cap
- Turn the knob to CHOKE (or to RUN if the generator is already warmed up)
- Pull the start handle/rope on the side of the generator. Repeat as needed to start.
- Wait a few seconds; turn the knob to RUN
- Ensure the ECONOMY switch is ON (gen will throttle up when under load)
- Follow the instructions printed on the generator
- ☐ Plug the charge cable into the generator, wait a couple minutes
-
☐ Verify the MagnaSine display indicates CHARGING
- This should happen automatically, about 30s after the running generator is plugged into the inverter.
