MEGAFORCE 6500 Extended Life Generator
9
Connect battery charge cable clamp connected to
black lead to the negative () battery terminal
(Figure 8).
Start engine. Let the engine run while battery
recharges.
When battery has charged, shut down engine
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery
state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturers instructions carefully. Generally, a
battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge
when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by
hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may
experience icing of the carburetor and/or the
crankcase breather system.
In an emergency, use the original shipping box as a
temporary shelter:
Cut off all flaps.
Cut out one of the long sides of the box to expose
exhaust side of unit. Ensure a minimum of two feet
clearance between open side of box and nearest
object.
Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
Start unit, then place box over it.
IMPORTANT! Remove shelter when temperature is
above 40°F [4°C].
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that
will enclose three sides and the top of the generator:
Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is
exposed. Note that your generator may appear
different from that shown in Figure 9.
Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between
open side of box and nearest object.
Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent problems.
CAUTION! NEVER run unit indoors. Do Not
enclose generator any more than shown.
Remove shelter when temperatures are above
40°F [4°C].
