BATTERY INSTALLATION

This engine generator set is shipped with a battery tie down 
for customer installation. 

A customer supplied 12 Volt battery, BCI group U1 rated 
at 300 CCA or larger is recommended for this electric start 
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.

Installation and servicing of batteries must be performed or 
supervised only by personnel knowledgeable of batteries 
and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel 
away from batteries.

When installing or replacing batteries, use proper group/
size starting battery. The battery should be a maintenance 
free lead acidic design. Deep cycle batteries will NOT work 
for this application.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

These electric start engines are NEGATIVE GROUND. 
Use extreme caution when connecting the battery. 
Connect the NEGATIVE battery terminal to GROUND.

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 an tight. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting, 
disconnect the negative cable first. These 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 severe burns. If acid contacts eyes, skin, or 
clothing, flush well with water. For contact with the 
eyes, get immediate medical attention.

CAUTION:

Do NOT open or mutilate the battery. Released 
electrolyte is known to be harmful to the skin and eyes 
and to be very toxic.

A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high 
short circuit current. The following precautions must 
be observed when working with batteries:

  1. Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.
  2. Use tools with insulated handles.
  3. Check both the battery cable ends and the battery 
    posts to be sure they are free of corrosion.
  4. Always connect the battery positive first and then 
    connect the battery negative cable. When 
    removing the battery cables from the battery 
    reverse the procedure, disconnect the negative 
    cable first and then the positive cable.
  5. Be sure all connections are tight and coat the 
    terminals and cable end with dialectic grease.

WARNING:

The electrolyte is diluted sulfuric acid that is harmful 
to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and 
corrosive. The following precautions must be always 
be taken.

  1. Always wear full eye protection and protective 
  clothing.
  2. Where electrolyte contacts skin, wash off 
    immediately with water. 
  3. If electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly 
    and immediately with water and seek immediate 
  medical 

attention.

  4. Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an 
    acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to 
    use a solution of one pound of bicarbonate of 
    soda (baking soda) to one gallon of water. The 
    bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until 
    the evidence of reaction, foaming, has ceased. The 
    resulting liquid is to be flushed water and the area 
  dried.

DANGER: EXPLOSIVE FIRE RISK

Never smoke when near batteries. Do not cause a 
flame or spark in the battery area. Always discharge 
static electricity from your body before touching 
batteries by first touching a ground metal surface.

SERVICING BATTERIES

Batteries used on these units may over time lose water. 
This is especially true if you are using a trickle charger to 
maintain your battery. When refilling the battery with water 
use only distilled water. Tap water will shorten the service 
life of the battery.

Never fill the battery above the fill line. Overfilling above 
the upper level line may cause the electrolyte to overflow, 
resulting in corrosion to the engine or nearby parts. 
Immediately wash off any spilled electrolyte following the 
procedure above.
