• Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle
to battery post or terminal indicatedby Negative,
NEG, or (-) (Figure 7).
• Start generator. Let the engine run while battery
recharges.
• When battery has charged, shut down engine (see
"Stopping The Engine")
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery
state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer's instructionscarefully. Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100%state of charge when specific
gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260or
higher.
CONNECTOR PLUGS
120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacle
Eachoutlet socket is protected against overload by a
7.5 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each receptacle
to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 1,000watts (I.0 kW) of power (Figure 8).
_ AUTION! Although each receptacle is rated
for 120 Volts at 15 Amps (I,440 watts or 1.44kW),
the generator is rated for a total of 1,000watts.
Powering loads that exceed the wattage capacity of
the generator can damage it or cause serious
injuries.The total of loads powered through these
receptacles should not exceed 7.5 Amps.
12 Volt DC Accessory Jack
This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Vott
automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery
charge cable provided. Camping-style air pumps, lanterns,
fans, or other 12 Volt devices havinga cigarette lighter-type
plug may also be powered by this outlet (Figure 9).
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can
not be used to crank an engine havinga discharged battery.
See "Charging a Battery" (page 8) before attempting to
recharge a battery.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with
the generator's 120 Volt electrical receptacles.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Such cords should be rated for 125Volt AC loadsat
15 Amps (or greater) for most electrical devices. Some
devices, however, may not require this type of extension
cord. Check the owner's manuals of those devices for their
recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less
than 15feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible
overheating of wires.
