CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING BATTERY
AND BATTERY MAINTAINER CHARGING
CABLE
These instructions replace
Connecting/Disconnecting Battery
instructions in
your operator’s manual and quick reference guide.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution or explosion, do not short circuit the bat-
tery terminals or charge in a sealed container. Keep sparks and flame away.
WARNING:
Keep metal objects away from the battery terminals. Metal objects can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together can cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
The battery cables must be connected before the electric start feature of the
generator can be operated. The battery maintainer charging cable should also
be installed at this time.
Connect the red wires to the positive (+) terminal first, then connect the black
wires to the negative (–) terminal. Make sure all connections are tight.
NOTE:
Be careful not to short across the terminals when installing. Shorting
the terminals together can cause sparks, damage to the battery or generator,
or even burns or explosions.
Cover the terminals with the rubber covers.
When removing the battery for replacement:
disconnect the negative
(black) post, then the positive (red) post, being careful not to short across
the terminals. Always abide by the safety warnings provided with the battery.
Remove the battery and dispose of according to local and state regulations.
