*All parts are standard parts at your local hardware store.
Note: Brand New Generators are shipped with the Battery
Connections disconnected. The Positive and Negative
Terminals must be connected to the Battery before the
Electric Start Feature will work.
Initial Battery Connection - Refer to the Installation
Instructions Below.
Battery Removal & Installation:
Removal: Remove the two screws holding down the battery
tray cover. Remove the cover by lifting up on the front and
pulling backward until the tabs clear the slots exposing the
battery. Remove the nut and bolt from the negative and
positive post, being careful not to short across the terminals.
(Shorting the terminals together can cause sparks, damage to
the battery or generator or even burns or explosions.)
Always abide by the safety warnings provided with the
battery.
Remove the battery from the tray and re-cycle and dispose of
properly.
Installation:
If the Battery Tray Cover is not already
removed, remove it by taking out the two screws. Remove the
cover. Hook up the new battery, or re-install the new battery,
as follows. Connect the Red 10 Gauge wire to the positive (+)
terminal and the Black 10 Gauge wire to the negative (-)
terminal with the bolt and nut provided. Make sure all
connections are tight. Terminals may need to be bent slightly
after installing bolt and nut for best wire clearance under top
cover. Install the battery tray cover with the two screws. Your
battery is now connected and ready for use. Turn the start
rocker switch to the on position and push the start switch to
crank the engine.
Note: Be sure Oil has been added to the
engine as specified in the Owner's Manual
.
