Generator Battery
This product is equipped with an automatic battery charging circuit. The battery will receive
charging voltage when the engine is running. The battery will maintain a proper charge if the
unit is used on a regular basis (about once every two weeks). If it is used less frequently,
the battery should be connected to a trickle charger (not included) or battery maintainer
(not included) to keep the battery properly charged. If the battery is not able to start the
engine, it can be started by manually pulling the engine recoil cord. If the battery voltage is
extremely low, the charging circuit may not be able to re-charge the battery. In this case, the
battery must be connected to a standard automotive style battery charger for re-charging
before it can be used.
Disconnect the Battery
1. Remove the protective cover from the black/negative battery lead.
2. Disconnect the black/negative lead from the black/negative terminal on the battery and
store the cap screw and nut.
Repeat steps 1-2 for the red/positive battery lead.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Charge the Battery
For a generator equipped with batteries for electric starting, proper battery maintenance
and storage should be followed. An automatic battery charger (included) with automatic
trickle charging capability should be used to charge the battery. Maximum charging rate
should not exceed 1.5 amps. Follow the instructions included with the battery charger. The
battery should be fully charged at least once per month.
A float charger will maintain the battery condition over long storage periods.
