YDG Operation Manual
DC APPLICATION
Note: DC terminals should be used for charging
12 Volt DC batteries only. Using the DC
terminals for any other type of 12 volt
appliance may cause damage to
generator and appliance.
The DC terminal (Figure 7, (3)) or (Figure 8, (5))
may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type
batteries only. (Other loads may not be used.)
1. Always disconnect the negative (–) battery
cable (if connected) from the battery to be
charged before charging.
2. Start the engine.
3. Connect the charging cable to the battery
terminals and to the DC output terminals of the
generator.
CAUTION
Do not use DC 12 volts and AC at the
same time.

A CAUTION
• Connect the positive battery terminal
to the positive generator terminal. Do
not reverse the charging cables or
serious damage to the generator
and / or battery may occur.
• Do not allow the free ends of the cable
to touch each other. If this occurs, it
will short circuit the battery.
• When a large capacity battery is
charged, excessive current flows (the
value varies depending on the
discharging condition), and the fuse
for the direct current will burn out.

A WARNING
BURN HAZARD!
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid. NEVER
allow battery fluid to come in contact
with clothing, skin or eyes. Severe
burns could result. ALWAYS wear
safety goggles and protective clothing
when servicing the battery. If contact
with the skin and / or eyes should
occur, flush with a large amount of
water and obtain prompt medical
treatment.
• Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.

A DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Keep the area around the battery well-
ventilated. While the engine is running
or the battery is charging, hydrogen
gas is produced which can be easily
ignited.
• Keep sparks, open flame and any other
form of ignition away while the engine
is running or battery is charging.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
