34 Installation Guidelines For 50 Hz Air-Cooled Generator Sets
•
Do not place tools or metallic objects on top of bat-
tery.
•
Remove all jewelry, including watches, rings, and
other metal objects.
•
Use tools with insulated handles.
•
If electrolyte contacts skin, wash it off immediately
with water.
•
If electrolyte contacts eyes, thoroughly flush with
water immediately and seek medical attention.
•
Wash down spilled electrolyte with an acid neutral-
izing agent. A common practice is to use a solution
of 454 g (1 lb) bicarbonate of soda to 3.8 L (1 gal)
of water. Add bicarbonate of soda solution until evi-
dence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. Flush
resulting liquid with water and dry area completely.
•
DO NOT smoke when near battery.
•
DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area.
•
Discharge static electricity from body before touch-
ing battery by first touching a grounded metal sur-
face.
•
(Unsealed batteries only) : Fill battery with correct
electrolyte fluid if necessary.
•
Fully charge battery before installing it.
Complete the following steps before installing and con-
necting battery:
1. Verify generator set is OFF.
2. Turn off mains power supply to transfer switch
using means provided (such as a mains MLCB).
3. Remove 7.5A fuse from generator set control
panel.
Connecting the Battery
See Figure 6-2 . Battery cables were factory connected
at generator set.
Figure 6-2. Battery Cable Connections
Proceed as follows to connect battery cables to battery
posts:
1. Connect red positive battery cable (A: from starter
contactor) to positive battery post. Tighten to 8 Nm
(70
in-lbs ).
2. Connect black negative battery cable (B: from
frame ground) to negative battery post. Tighten to
8 Nm (70
in-lbs ).
3. Install red battery post cover (shipped with loose
parts).
NOTE: Dielectric grease should be used on battery
posts to aid in the prevention of corrosion.
NOTE: Damage will result if battery connections are
made in reverse.
NOTE: In areas where temperatures fall below -18 °C (0
°F), a pad type battery warmer should be installed to aid
in cold climate starting. This is available as part of a cold
weather kit through an IASD.
A battery warmer is not necessary for AGM-style batter-
ies.
Battery Disposal
Always recycle batteries in accordance with local laws
and regulations. Contact your local solid waste collection
site or recycling facility to obtain information on local
recycling processes. For more information on battery
recycling, visit the Battery Council International website
