WARNING: While operating and
storing, keep at least 3 feet of
clearance on all sides of this product,
including overhead. Allow a minimum of 30
minutes of “cool down” time before storage.
Heat created by muffler and exhaust gases may
be hot enough to cause serious burns and /or
ignite combustible objects.
USING THE BATTERY CHARGING CABLE
WARNING. The 12 V DC receptacle is
designed to charge vented wet lead
acid batteries only. Other types of
batteries may burst, causing personal
injury and damage.
NOTE: The 12 V DC receptacle provides
continuous charge. Do not overcharge battery or
leave battery unattended. Doing so may cause
damage to the battery.
NOTE: Do not use the generator to jump start
vehicles. Doing so could result in damage to the
vehicle or it’s electrical components.
Using the battery clamps, connect the battery
charging cable assembly to the battery terminal.
Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal
first, then connect the black wire to the negative
(–) terminal. Make sure all connections are
secure.
NOTE: Be careful not to short across the
terminals when installing. Shorting the terminals
together can cause sparks, damage to the
battery or generator, or even burns or
explosions.
Connect the battery charging cable assembly to
the 12V DC socket (Fig.13).
Start the generator.
NOTE: Ensure the Economy switch is turned off
while charging batteries.
NOTE: The AC receptacles can be used while
the DC receptacle is in use.
Using a hydrometer measure the specific gravity
of the battery fluid and calculate the charging
time in accordance with the table shown, Fig 14.
The battery will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem.
The DC circuit breaker turns off automatically if
the current exceeds the rated flow during
battery charging. To restart the battery charging
process press the circuit breaker button to ON,
