12 VOLT D.C.
RECEPTACLE
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that
will enclose three sides and the top of the generator.
Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed,
with two feet clearance between open side of box and
nearest object. Face exposed end away from wind
and elements.
CHARGING
A BATTERY
WARNING!
Certain storage batteries give off
explosive hydrogen gas while recharging. An
explosive mixture will remain around the battery
for a long time after it has been charged. The
slightest spark can ignite the hydrogen and
cause an explosion. Such an explosion can
shatter the battery and cause blindness or other
serious injury.

WARNING!
Do Not permit smoking, open
flame, sparks or any other source of heat
around a battery. Wear protective goggles,
rubber apron and rubber gloves when working
around a battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is an
extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can
cause severe burns. If spill occurs, flush area
with clear water immediately.
Your generator has the capability of recharging a
discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage
battery. Do Not use the unit to charge any 6 Volt
batteries.
Do Not use the unit to crank an engine
having a discharged
battery.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
•
Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary,
add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in
battery cells. Do Not use tap water.
•
If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make
sure they are installed and are tight.
•
If necessary, clean battery terminals.
•
Connect battery charge cable connector plug to
panel receptacle identified by the words
"12 Volt DC Output".

NEG
12 VOLT BATTERY
•
Connect battery charge cable clamp with black
handle to the negative (-) battery terminal.
•
Start engine. Let the engine run while battery
recharges.
•
When battery has charged, shut down engine.
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery
state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer's
instructions carefully. Generally, a
battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge
when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by
hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.
How to Use the Battery
Charger
Use battery charger jack to keep the starting battery
charged and ready for use. Battery charging should be
done in a dry location, such as inside a garage.
•
Plug the charger into the unit's "12V DC Battery
Charger" jack, which is located on the control
panel. Plug battery charger into a 120 Volt AC wall
receptacle.
•
Unplug the charger from the unit and the wall outlet
when generator is being started and while it is in
operation.
•
Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not
in use to prolong battery life. The charger has a
built in float equalizer and will not overcharge the
battery, even when plugged in for an extended
period of time.
IMPORTANT:
See "Battery Maintenance" on page 13
