MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Generator Maintenance
Make certain that the generator is kept clean and stored
properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in
a clean, dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the
unit to extreme conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture
or corrosive vapours.
Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the
generator.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil.
Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris
from the generator.
Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they
are clean and unobstructed.
DO NOT use a garden hose to clean the generator.
Water can enter the generator through the cooling
slots and damage the generator windings.
CAUTION
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.
A Float Charger will maintain the battery condition
over long storage periods.
NOTE
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.
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.
