BATTERY CHARGER CONNECTION
The generator has been equipped with a 10 Amp
battery charger installed. This charger needs to be
plugged into an appropriate 120VAC 15 amp outlet.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
DANGER
Standby generators installed with automatic
transfer switches will crank and start automati-
cally when NORMAL (UTILITY) source voltage is
removed or is below an acceptable preset level.
To prevent such automatic start-up and pos-
sible injury to personnel, do not connect battery
cables until certain that; the AUTO/OFF/
MANUAL switch is in the OFF position; the 15A
fuse has been removed from the control box
(see Start-up Check List); normal source voltage
at the transfer switch is correct and the system
is ready to be placed into operation.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture
around the battery for several hours after charg-
ing. The slightest spark can ignite the gas and
cause an explosion. Such an explosion can shat-
ter the battery and cause blindness or other
injury. Any area that houses a storage battery
must be properly ventilated. Do not allow smok-
ing, open flame, sparks or any spark producing
tools or equipment near the battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caus-
tic sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe
burns. Do not permit fluid to contact eyes, skin,
clothing, painted surfaces, etc. Wear protective
goggles, protective clothing and gloves when
handling a battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the
affected area immediately with clear water.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The bat-
tery is capable of exploding.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte can be toxic and harmful to the skin
and eyes.
