Understanding Your Battery (Continued)
If the generator will not start, check the battery voltage with a voltmeter. You can access the battery through the left
maintenance door, or you can simply check the voltage through the battery charge receptacle on the control panel.
This receptacle is connected directly to the battery, so it can be used without the generator running, or the key in the
ON position, or the remote switch on.
If the battery voltage is below 10.5V, you must charge the battery by connecting a 12V trickle charger to the battery
charge receptacle on the control panel (“back-charging”), or directly to the battery leads. Allow the battery to charge
fully before attempting to start the generator.
Included in your packaging is a 12volt battery charger. When you are starting your unit for short periods, you can
utilize this feature to maintain the charge in your battery. After longer storage intervals this charger can be used to
re-charge your battery. Plug it in a minimum of 24hps prior to use.
