SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin cords can drain the power provided to an electrical device by the generator. When using
such cords, allow for a slightly higher rated wattage requirement than the electrical device. See Figure
12 for recommended cords based on the power requirement of the electrical device.

DANGER: Storage batteries emit highly explosive hydrogen gas when charged. Batteries
also contain acid, which can cause severe chemical burns.
Do not allow open flames or cigarettes nearby for several minutes after charging a
battery.
Always wear protective goggles and rubber gloves when charging a battery.
☆
If battery acid gets on your skin, flush with water.
☆
If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water and call a physician immediately.
☆
If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of milk and call a physician
immediately.
If you purchased an electric start model, the battery may not be fully charged, if it doesn’t have
sufficient charge to start, the pull start should be used the first time. Running it will charge the battery
automatically. While the battery is charging, the charge indication light will shine, after the battery is
fully charged, the light will turn off.
