4.7 DC application
The DC receptacle may be used for charging 12 volt lead acid batteries only. Other types
of batteries may burst causing personal injury or damage.
To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, connect the charging cable
first to the battery being charged, and then to the generator. When charging is complete,
disconnect the cable first at the generator.
Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect
the vehicle
’s ground battery cable. Reconnect the vehicle's ground battery cable after the
charging cables are removed. This procedure will prevent the possibility of a short circuit
and sparks if you make accidental contact between a battery terminal and the vehicle's
frame or body.
Connect the positive charging cord to the positive battery terminal. Do not reverse the
charging cables, or serious damage to the generator and/or battery may occur. Physical
injury may also occur.
Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with the generator still connected to the
battery. The generator may be damaged.
Connect the positive charging cord to the positive battery terminal. Do not reverse the
charging cables, or serious damage to the generator and/or battery may occur.
DC operation is only intended for the purpose of charging batteries. It should not be used
to power DC equipment.
