Alternator Introduction
Electric start DuraForce en
g
ines are equipped with an
alternator to keep the battery “topped off”. The char
g
e
rate of this alternator is 500 milliamps. Due to the low
char
g
e rate, it is important to use the 120 volt char
g
er
to fully char
g
e the battery before initial use and at the
start of each season. Frequent starts or hard startin
g
may require usin
g
the 120 volt char
g
er to rechar
g
e the
battery. (See Fi
g
ure 103.)
