How to Attach Electronic Devices
1. Before Starting generator
• Make sure the generator is grounded (see page 11 for instructions).
• Make sure the attached load is within the generator rated output and the receptacle’s rated current.
• Make sure all electrical cords and receptacles are in good condition.
• Make sure all electronic devices are turned “OFF” before plugging them into the generator.
2. Start engine
3. If the attached load is small, turn the ECO switch to the “ON” position. For a larger load, or if attaching multiple electronic
devices turn the ECO switch to the “OFF” position.
4. Make sure the green AC pilot indicator light is on.
.
6. Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.

Charging a 12 Volt Battery
This generator can be used to charge a 12 volt automotive or storage battery by
taking the following steps:
ONLY
level is low. Never add tap water.
1. Use a wire brush to clean battery terminals if corroded.
2. Before connecting battery to generator, start generator engine. Make sure the
DC Protector is turned to the “ON” position.
3. Securely connect the red cable clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal.
4. Securely connect the black cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal.
5. Turn the ESC switch to the “OFF” position to start battery charging.

and 1.28 when measured by a hydrometer.
Note:
It is strongly recommended to check the gravity level of the electrode at least once per hour with a hydrometer to
prevent overcharging and to test the battery’s condition. Be careful to follow the hydrometer manufacture’s instruction.
• Do not disconnect battery clamps while charging. Batteries produce explosive gasses. Disconnecting the battery
clamps while charging could spark and ignite.
• Do not charge battery in an enclosed area.
• Never smoke while charging the battery or operating or fueling this generator.

Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Always wear eye protection
when charging battery.
get immediate medical attention. For internal ingestion, drink large quantities of water or milk, followed by milk of
magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Contact a medical physician immediately.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous.
