Generator battery
Your generator is equipped with an automatic battery charging
circuit that charges the battery while 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
or battery maintainer (not included) to keep the battery properly
charged.
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. 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. Pull two halves of battery connector apart.
Charge the Battery

STORAGE
WARNiNG
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your generator
during periods of storage, the following precautions should be
followed:
–
When storing the generator make sure the ignition switch
and fuel valve are set to the “OFF” position.
Short Term Storage (up to 30 days)
Ethanol blended gasoline may gum up and clog the carburetor if
the generator is not run or carburetor drained within 4 weeks.
1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Start the generator as instructed in
Starting the Engine
section.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
5. Move the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
Mid Term Storage (30 days – 1 year)
Ethanol blended gasoline in the tank has a maximum shelf life
of up to 1 year with the addition of a properly formulated fuel
stabilizer and stored in a cool, dry place.
1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Start and run the generator for 10 minutes so the treated
gasoline cycles through the fuel system.
