PREPARING THE GENERATOR
CARRIAGE BRACKETS
The generator has 4 red carriage brackets fitted underneath
the base to prevent damage caused by rough handling during
transit.
IMPORTANT- THESE BE MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE
USE, OTHERWISE THE UNIT WILL VIBRATE
EXCESSIVELY AND DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
To remove the carriage brackets:
1. Gently place the generator on its side (with the recoil handle
facing up). Place some packaging foam under the generator
to prevent damage.
2. Using the wrench provided, remove the 4 nuts (1) and the 4 red
carriage brackets (2). The studs securing the carriage brackets
can remain in place.
BATTERY
The generator is equipped with an internal lithium-ion battery
mounted in the battery holder. The battery is disconnected and
must be connected before first use.
To access the battery:
1. Unscrew the 2 fasteners (1) at the top of the side panel. Note
that they are captive fasteners and cannot be removed from
the side panel.
2. Pull the captive fasteners in the direction shown (2) to release
the top of the side panel.
3. Pull the panel until the hidden fasteners (3) are pulled apart.
IMPORTANT, STOP PULLING ONCE THE FASTENERS
(3) ARE PULLED APART, OTHERWISE THE TABS
AT THE BOTTOM ON THE SIDE PANEL COULD BE
DAMAGED.
4. To remove the side panel completely, lift off in a vertical direction
(4) to release the bottom tabs.
To connect the battery:
1. The positive battery cable (5) is already connected.
2. Attach the cable with the black cap to the negative battery
terminal (6).
3. To make the connection easier, the battery can be removed by
releasing the rubber battery strap.
Reattach the side panel in reverse order before first use.

•
Humidity below 95%
•
Height above sea level: < 3000 feet (900 m). If the height of
the operating area is over 900 m high, output power will be
reduced.
Standard operating conditions are 77°F (25°C) and 40% humid
-
ity. Generator power may be reduced due to different ambient
