4.1 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
The battery shipped with the generator has been fully charged.
A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for
prolonged periods of time. If the battery is unable to crank
the engine, plug in the 12V charger included in the accessory
box (see the Charging a Battery section). RUNNING THE
GENERATOR DOES NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY.
The battery shipped with the generator has been provided fully
charged. To replace the battery (See Figure 16):
1. Remove the side panel as shown. Remove the four bolts
securing the fuel tank.
2. Turn the fuel valve on the control panel to the "OFF" position.
Pull the fuel tank back slightly and remove the fuel hose that
runs from the engine to the fuel valve.
Drain fuel into approved container outdoors, away from
open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke in the
vicinity or light a cigarette.
3. Disconnect the recovery hose from the rollover valve. Push
the hose through the grommet in the corner of the fuel tank.
This will allow for removal of the fuel tank.
4. Push the fuel valve from the control panel and remove the fuel
tank.
5. Remove the battery wire connections (black wire first) and the
battery hold-down bracket.
6. Replace the battery, connecting the RED wire to the POSITIVE
(+) terminal and the BLACK wire to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal
NOTE:
Start all four screws on the side panel before tightening or it
may not be possible to get all the screws in place.
