Battery Setup Instructions
All Generators can be started using the
recoil method. Generators with the electric
start option require installation of a battery
to operate the electric start feature. Connect
the battery to the generator engine:
1. Place a fully charged, lead‑acid 12 V, 9 Ah battery
(not included) in the
battery holder on the
generator.
2. Bolt in place using
the hardware
included with
the battery.
3. Attach the positive (red) cable connector
from the engine to the Positive Terminal
on the battery. Connect cable securely to
prevent disconnection and short circuits.
4. Attach the negative (black) cable connector
to the negative battery terminal.
Grounding
The Generator must be properly grounded before
use. Have the unit grounded by a qualified
electrician if you are not qualified to do so.
To ground the Generator, connect a #6 AWG
grounding wire (not included) from the Grounding
Terminal on the Control Panel to a grounding rod
(not included) that has been driven at least 24
inches deep into the earth. The grounding rod must
be an earth‑driven copper or brass rod (electrode)
which can adequately ground the Generator.
