BATTERY INSTALLATION

This engine-generator set is shipped with a battery tie down

kit for customer installation. This kit consists of a battery

tie down and hardware for installation of the customer

supplied battery to operate it.

This engine-generator set is designed for recoil and electric

start. You will need to purchase and install a battery to

operate it on Natural Gas or for electric start with gasoline.

An Interstate IB18-A ,12 Volt battery or equivalent is

recommended for the electric start on this engine-generator

set. Follow the battery manufacturers recommendations for

servicing and charging prior to use. Connect the battery to

the electric start system using the cables provided.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

These electric start engines are NEGATIVE GROUND.

Use extreme caution when connecting the battery.

Connect the Negative battery terminal to GROUND.

Connecting the positive battery terminal to ground

will damage the engines charging circuit.

For your safety, always connect the positive battery cable to

the ‘bat+’ terminal first. .Then connect the negative battery

cable to the ‘bat-’ terminal. Make sure all connections are

clean and tight. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting,

disconnect the negative cable first. The engines produce

enough direct current to keep the battery charged under

normal operating conditions, but were not intended to be

used as a battery charger.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY

Lead acid batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas

when charging. Keep sparks, flames, and burning

cigarettes away from the battery. Ventilate the area

when charging or using the battery in an enclosed

space. Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid, which

causes burns. If acid contacts eyes, skin, or clothing,

flush well with water. For contact with eyes, get

immediate medical attention.

BATTERY CHARGING

Units equipped with electric start have a small flywheel

charger built into the engine flywheel assembly for

recharging the start battery. This flywheel charger

generates a small AC current that passes through a diode

assembly to produce a DC charging current of about 1 to

3 AMPS. This circuit is not designed to be used as a battery

charging circuit to recharge dead batteries.
