1. Before connecting the battery charging cable
to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect
the vehicle battery ground cable from the
negative (–) battery terminal.
Do not continue to charge a battery that becomes
hot or is fully charged.
A DC circuit protector has been provided to
protect the circuit from overloads. If an overload
occurs, the circuit protector will trip. The circuit
protector may be reset by pushing the button of
the protector.
DC CIRCUIT PROTECTOR
Charging a large capacity battery or a totally
discharged battery may cause the DC breaker to
turn off. In these cases, a separate battery charger
unit connected to an AC power source is
recommended instead of the DC receptacle on
the generator.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the DC
receptacle of the generator.
NOTE:
When the battery circuit is in use the AC capacity
is reduced by 100 watts. Make sure the combined
load is within the rated limits.
WARNING
Do not continue to charge a battery that becomes
hot or is fully charged.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads.
Never start or stop the generator with
electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
Let the generator run at no-load for two minutes to stabilize
internal temperatures of the engine and generator.
2.
Remote Start Operation
Push and release the "
STOP
" button on the
remote control. The generator will be shut down.
Note
: Skip this step and go to step 3, if you are
not using Remote Start to shutdown the engine.
CAUTION
Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE hydrogen
gas while charging. Do not allow smoking, open
flames, sparks, or spark producing equipment
in the area while charging.
WARNING
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging
Cable is connected and the generator is running.
It will not give the battery a boost of power. The
Vehicle or the generator may be damaged. Charge
only vented wet lead acid batteries. Other types
of batteries may burst, causing personal injury
or damage.
Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised of sulfuric
acid that can be very dangerous and cause severe
burns. Do not allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin,
clothing, etc. If contact or spillage does occur,
flush the area with water immediately.
WARNING
12V DC Outlet (Battery Charger)
The 12V DC outlet is ONLY to be used with the
supplied 12V battery charging cable. The DC
output is unregulated and will damage other
12V DC products.
The amount of current flowing will depend on the
charging voltage and battery's state of charge. As
the battery becomes more fully charged, the output
current to the battery decreases and nearly becomes
constant. Taper chargers are intended to be used
with the provision that they will be disconnected
from the battery after a maximum time on charge.
Normally a period of 30 to 120 minutes is sufficient
to recharge a weak battery. The charge level of the
battery should be checked periodically.
