DCA10SPX4/DCA10SPXU4 — SETUP
When connecting battery do the following:
1.
NEVER
connect the battery cables to the battery
terminals when the ignition switch is in the
ON
position
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 19. 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.
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 corrision 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.
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 19) 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.
