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 (included) or battery maintainer 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 battery panel cover.
2. Remove the protective cover from the black/negative battery
lead.
3. Disconnect the black/negative lead from the black/negative
terminal on the battery and store the cap screw and nut.
4. Repeat steps 1-2 for the red/positive battery lead.
5. 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 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.
NOTICE
A Float Charger will maintain the battery condition over long
storage periods.
