GA-6HE — MAINTENANCE (BATTERY)
When connecting battery do the following:
1.
NEVER
use worn or damaged battery cables. Replace
defective battery cables immediately.
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.
Figure 30. Battery Connections
ALWAYS
disconnect the negative terminal
FIRST
and
reconnect negative terminal
LAST
.
Inadequate battery connections may cause poor starting
of the generator, and create other malfunctions.
Polarity
The polarity of the battery is extremely important. When an
inverted circuit connection takes place, the circuit will be in
short circuit instantaneously resulting in possible damage
to the control box electronics and starter.
When connecting the battery cables to the battery terminals
be sure to check the polarity.
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.
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.
NOTE
Battery
This unit is of negative ground
DO NOT
connect in reverse.
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level are not
properly maintained. Add only distilled water when
replenishment is necessary.
DO NOT
over fill. Check to see whether the battery cables
are loose. Poor contact may result in poor starting or
malfunctions.
Always
keep the terminals firmly tightened.
Coating the terminals with an approved battery terminal
treatment compound. Replace battery with only
recommended type battery.
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of
the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific gravity
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is
dead and needs to be recharged or replaced.
Before charging the battery with an external electric source,
be sure to disconnect the battery cables.
Battery Cable Installation
ALWAYS
be sure the battery cables (Figure 30) 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.
