1. Introduction 1.1 Foreword Thank you for choosing PowerUP Energy Technologies as your clean energy provider! Have fun with your new energy supply system. Please read these installation instructions before using the generator. Kindly contact us if you have any questions about installing or using your generator. If you have any remaining questions about our generators, please contact us support@powerup-tech.com.

1.2 Safety information Before operating, read the instructions and keep them for reference. Be sure that you adhere to all manual instructions. WARNING! → The PowerUP series generators may only be operated in a wellventilated environment. → Ensure that airflow is not obstructed by any objects. → Keep PowerUP series generators away from flammable substances, sources of flame and sparks. → Do not use generator, cables or accessories if they are damaged. If they are damaged, contact support for assistance. → Protect generator from water ingress. → Unplug and power off the appliance before...

→ Prevent all direct human exposure to hydrogen gas. Although it is non-toxic, it can act as an asphyxiant and can cause loss of consciousness. → When storing or using hydrogen cylinders indoors, it is recommended to install an external, wall-mounted hydrogen alarm within that space to detect leaks. Please contact PowerUP sales@powerup-tech.com to procure and install such an alarm. → Do not handle compressed hydrogen gas cylinders without training or prior experience. Contact support@powerup-tech. com to get basic training on handling hydrogen. → Do not transport hydrogen cylinders with a...

3. Installation 3.1 Tools Generator Installation does not require any tools. Standard gas system assembly requirements: → 2 pieces of 28 mm Wrenches → M2.5 hex screwdriver 3.2 Generator installation → UP series generators require oxygen from air for their operation, therefore generators shall be installed in the spaces with an adequate air flow. → When generators are installed in confined compartments, additional vents might be required to provide sufficient air flow. → Allowed spatial orientation. → A minimum 5 cm of clearance is required between side air vents and the wall. REF003 FRONT...

3.3 Gas system assembly Only applicable if the gas system is supplied by PowerUP or its official partners. To connect the regulator to the cylinder, two (2) number 28 wrenches are required. Please follow these instructions. 1. Inspect cylinder(s), regulator, hose and quick connector for any physical damage. 2. Ensure threads and quick connectors are clean and undamaged. 3. Ensure the valve is in the closed position. 4. Place one of the wrenches around the valve on the top of the cylinder to prevent it from moving. 5. Place the regulator on top of the cylinder, and hand-tighten the brass nut...

3.4 Gas system connection 1. Connect the connector-end of the hydrogen hose on the regulator assembly to the ‘Hydrogen Inlet’ port of the generator. 2. Push the connector onto the ‘Hydrogen Inlet’ port until a loud click is heard, which indicates that an airtight connection has been established. To release the connector, grab the connector with one hand and the generator with the other. Push the ring on the connector towards the generator, and then unplug the connector from the ‘Hydrogen Inlet’ port. 3. Open the manual valve on the regulator.
