smoking or exposing batteries to open
flames. ALWAYS wear protective clothing,
safety goggles and gloves when recharging
batteries. Flush skin with water that comes

water and consult a physician immediately. If
you swallow battery acid, drink some milk
and consult a physician immediately.
To attach a 12V battery to the DC receptacle:
1. Connect the positive end of
the charging cable or wire
to the positive end of the
battery to be charged.
Connect the negative end
of the charging cable or
wire to the negative end of the battery to be charged.
2. Next, connect the other end of the positive cable or
wire to the positive receptacle of the generator. Start
your generator.
3. Gently connect the free end of the negative charging
cable or wire to the negative receptacle on the
generator.
