OPERATION
Charging a 12 Volt Battery
This generator can be used to charge a 12 volt automotive or storage battery by taking the f
steps:
Inspect fluid level of the battery cells. Add ONLY distilled water to any cell where fluid
level is low. Never add tap water.
1. Use a wire brush to clean battery terminals if corroded.
2. Securely connect the red cable clamp to the positive(+) battery terminal.
3. Turn the Economy switch to the "OFF" position to start battery charging.
4. Battery is considered fully charged when the gravity of its fluid is between 1.26
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.
J\_ WARNING!
~
A Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous.
• 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.
If battery acid contacts skin, flush with water immediately. If it contacts eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and
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.
