UNITSONLY)
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.
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 corrosive
sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe
burns. If spill occurs flush area with clear water
immediately.
NOTE:
Thebattery shippedwith the generator has been fully charged.
A battery may 10sesome of its chargewhen not in use for
pr0i0ngedperiodsof time. if the battery is unable to crankthe
engine, plugin the 12V chargerincludedin the accessorybox.
