MAINTENANCE
BATTERY MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
The battery will receive charge when the engine is running. Remember to run the generator once a month for 20-30
minutes to charge the battery. A charged battery will allow you to start the generator using the electric start switch
during your next time of need. If the battery is out of charge, you may start the generator using the recoil starter. If
the generator is not used for a long period, it is recommended to disconnect the quick-connector from the battery
to protect it from losing charge.
TIP: You can also connect the battery to an automatic trickle charger to keep the battery charged. If using a trickle-
charger, charge the battery at room temperature.
To reinstall/replace the battery:
1. Using a 10mm socket, remove the bolt on the bottom of
the battery bracket and remove the bracket and battery (Fig.
35).
2. Replace with an identical new battery
(part no. DG4500iX-074).
3. Connect the new battery by connecting the two ends of
the quick connector together.
4. Replace the battery bracket and bolt.
