DC Usage
The DC outlet is only for recharging 12 Volt automotive-type batteries. Do not connect any other device to this outlet.
Use this generator only for recharging 12 Volt batteries. NEVER attempt to jumpstart a car with this generator.
Failing to use the correct procedure can cause a battery to explode, seriously injuring anyone nearby. Keep heat, sparks, flame and
smoking materials away from the battery.
To connect 12 Volt batteries to the DC outlet:
1. Connect the red charging wire to the positive terminal of the battery and the black charging wire to the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Connect the plug end of the wire to the 12V DC outlet on this generator.
3. Start this generator.
4. When disconnecting, always disconnect the wires from this generator first to avoid a spark.
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 the skin, flush with water.
• If battery acid gets in the eyes, flush with water and immediately call a physician.
• If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of milk and immediately call a physician.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
To stop this generator:
1. Turn off all connected electrical devices and then unplug them.
2. Allow this generator to run for several more minutes with no electrical devices connected to help stabilize the temperature of this generator.
3. Turn off the engine switch.
4. If using LP Propane or Natural Gas, turn the tank fuel valve to the “off” position.
Allow this generator to cool down before touching areas that become hot during operation.
