Battery Cable Installation
ALWAYS
be sure the battery cables (Figure 36) are
properly connected to the battery terminals as shown below.
The
red cable
is connected to the positive terminal of the
battery, and the
black cable
is connected to the negative
terminal of the battery.
Figure 36. Battery Connections
When connecting battery do the following:
1.
NEVER
connect the battery cables to the battery
terminals when the
Auto-Off/Reset-Manual Switch
is in either the
AUTO
or
MANUAL
position.
ALWAYS
make sure that this switch is in the
OFF/RESET
position when connecting the battery.
2. Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment
compound around both battery terminals. This will
ensure a good connection and will help prevent
corrosion around the battery terminals.
CAUTION
ALWAYS
disconnect the negative terminal
FIRST
and
reconnect negative terminal
LAST
.

NOTICE
If the battery cable is connected incorrectly, electrical
damage to the generator will occur. Pay close attention
to the polarity of the battery when connecting the battery.
CAUTION
Inadequate battery connections may cause poor
starting of the generator, and create other malfunctions.
ALTERNATOR
The polarity of the alternator is negative grounding type.
When an inverted circuit connection takes place, the
circuit will be in short circuit instantaneously resulting the
alternator failure.
DO NOT
put water directly on the alternator. Entry of water
into the alternator can cause corrosion and damage the
alternator.
WIRING
Inspect the entire generator for bad or worn electrical wiring
or connections. If any wiring or connections are exposed
(insulation missing) replace wiring immediately.
PIPING AND HOSE CONNECTION
Inspect all piping, oil hose, and fuel hose connections for
wear and tightness. Tighten all hose clamps and check
hoses for leaks.
If any hose (
fuel or oil
) lines are defective replace them
immediately.
