USING THE 12 VDC BATTERY
CHARGER
The 12 VDC receptacle may be used to recharge 12 VDC
automotivebatteriesonly.TheDOchargingoutput is not regulated.
Thecircuit protectordoesnot preventover-charginga battery.
1. Connectthe charging cable to the generatorfirst, then the
battery,ALWAYSconnectingthe red leadto positive (+) and
the blackto negative(-).
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 a spill occurs,
flush area with clear water immediately.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture
wiii 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.
NEVER reverse the polarity when connecting
the battery terminals to the charging jack.
Severe damage may occur to the generator
and battery.
2. Keepthe FlexPowerTM switch in the "OFF"(O) position.
3. Start the generator and use it as normal. Chargingtime will
vary with batterysize andcondition. Checkthe voltageat the
batteryterminalsoncethe chargingcablehasbeenunplugged
or the generatorhasbeenshut down.
NOTE:
This receptacle can not recharge 6=Volt batteries
and can not be used to crank an engine having a
discharged battery.
SHUTTING DOWN
Oncethe generatoris no longerneededit can be shut down.
1. Switchoff any devicesconnectedto thegenerator.Unplugany
cords to the 120 VACduplex outlets orthe 12 VDCplug.
2. Turnthe fuel valve to the "OFF" (O) position (Figure7). A
switch behind the fuel valve grounds the ignition system,
stoppingthe engineandthe fuel supply is shut off.
3. Closethe vent on the fuel cap.
4. Allowthe generatorto cool beforemoving or storing.
_CAUTION!
Aiways allow the generator to cool off before
storing. High temperatures wiii be present
at the rear of the unit for some time after
shutdown.

LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN
Thisgeneratoris equippedwith alow oil levelshut down. If the oil
levelin the enginecrankcasedrops below a pro-determinedlevel,
the enginewill stop automaticallyand the "LOWOIL LEVEL'LED
will lightup.
Removethe Left Side Service Cover and check the oil level of
theengine.Add or drain oil as necessary;referto seethe section
"ADDINGENGINEOIL'.
FUELING THE GENERATOR
Use carewhenfueling the generator. Onlyfill the fuel tank when
thegeneratorhas cooled entirely.Usefresh unleadedgasolinewith
a minimum ResearchOctaneNumber(RON)of 87.
NOTE:
Do not use any gasolinecontainingmore than 10% Ethanol.
NEVERfill thefuel tankwith E85ora mixtureof 0il and gasoline
designated for tw0-cycleengines.
Do not light a cigarette or smoke when filling the
fuel tank.
Gasoiine is highly FLAMMABLE and its
vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit
smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the
vicinity while handling gasoline.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel
tank when engine is running or hot. Avoid
spilling gasoline on a hot engine. Allow
engine to cool entirely before filling fuel tank.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow
room for fuel expansion, if tank is over=filled,
fuel can overflow onto a hot engine and
cause FiRE or an EXPLOSION. Wipe up fuel
spills immediately!
