Use cables approved for battery charging. Connect a red
clip to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect a black clip
to the negative terminal of the battery. Connect the other end
of the clip wire to the corresponding black(-) and red (+)binding
posts on the generator panel. After the battery is fully charged,
remove the battery charging cable from the generator and then
disconnect from the battery posts.
WARNING: Battery electrolyte fluid is
comprised of sulfuric acid that can be very
dangerous and cause severe burns. Do not
allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,
etc. If contact or spillage does occur, flush
the area with water immediately.
WARNING: Do not continue to charge a
battery that becomes hot or is fully charged.
DC CIRCUIT BREAKER
: The maximum current available
from the battery charger circuit is 15 amps. An automatic DC
circuit breaker has been provided to protect the circuit from
overloads and assure that the battery gets recharged. If an
overload occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. After it cools, it will
automatically reset itself. The battery's maximum rate of
charge will eventually reduce to less than 15 amps and then to
zero as the battery approaches a 100 percent state of charge.
The Idle Control circuit is designed to extend engine life
and improve fuel usage by slowing the engine down to
approximately 2000 RPM in a “No Load” condition. The noise is
also greatly reduced during this condition.
When power is required from the generator an electronic
control module automatically senses current flow in the
electrical outlet and allows the engine to return to full speed or
standard operating condition. Likewise, when the load is
removed, the generator will automatically return to the idle
condition after a 4-5 second delay.
A convenient switch is mounted in the control panel for
easy access and will disable the Idle Control circuitry when in
the off position.
