IMPORTANT:
If you are charging a battery
that is installed in a vehicle, first
disconnect the vehicle ground
from the negative terminal.
To attach a 12V battery to the
DC receptacle:
1. Connect the positive end of the charging cable or
wire to the positive end of the battery to be charged.
Connect the negative end of the charging cable or
wire to the negative end of the battery to be charged.
2. Next, connect the plug end of the charging cable to
the DC receptacle of the generator.
3. Start your generator.
In the event of an overload or wiring issue, the DC
circuit breaker will be tripped.
DO NOT reset the DC circuit breaker until you have
checked the cables connection and waited for 15
minutes. Once you have confirmed that all
connections and wiring is good, start your generator
again.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
For storage and transportation, use the following
procedures and recommendations:
1. If you are storing generator from 1-2 months then
fill with fresh gas and a gas conditioner
2. If you are storing generator from 2 months to a
year, then perform #1 and drain the fuel filter cup
and the carburetor float bow
3. If you are storing generator for 1 year or more,
then perform the first two steps and change the
engine oil
4. Store in a clean, cool, dry place and ensure that
the generator has at least 4 feet of clearance on all
sides
.
.
.
Unscrew and remove the spark plug, then
add a small amount of oil (same oil as goes in
engine) into the cylinder head (approx. 2 teaspoons
or 1 tablespoon). Slowly pull the recoil starter to help
the oil move through the head. Screw spark plug
back in.
.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Do not touch the generator until you have
allowed it to cool. Touching the generator
soon after shut off can result in burns or
other injuries.
Never store your generator in areas of high
heat or with fuel in the tank for long periods
of time. Older gasoline, especially gasoline
with ethanol, can become unstable quickly
and make it more difficult to start your
generator.
Always disconnect the spark plug wire
when storing.
Store in a cool, dry place.
