which is located on starter switch (Figure 7). Plug
battery charger into a 120Volt AC wall receptacle.
2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when
generator is being started and while it is in operation.
3. 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 battery, even
when plugged in for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: See “Battery Maintenance” on page 13 for
additional information.
