If your generator is supplied with a 4-wire
120/240V twistlock receptacle ground and
neutral may be connected together at the load
side.
DC FEATURES
(Only models equipped with battery chargers)
These generators contain a circuit used for
battery charging purposes. A two-prong DC
receptacle is provided for this feature.
The battery charger on these generators are
referred to as an unregulated taper charger
- the most widely used in the market today.
The amount of current flowing will depend on
the charging voltage and battery’s state of
charge. As the oncharge output current to
the battery decreases, the output current to
the battery increases and nearly becomes
constant. Taper chargers are intended to be
used with the provision that
they will be disconnected from the battery
after maximum time on charge. Normally a
period of 30 to 120 minutes is sufficient to
recharge a weak battery.
CAUTION: This battery charging system is
intended to re-charge weak batteries, not
to “boost start” vehicles.
NOTE: When the battery charger circuit is
in use, the AC capacity is reduced by 180
watts. Make sure the combined load is within
the rated limits.
Before charging a storage battery, check the
electrolyte fluid level in all the cells. (Sealed
batteries do not require checking). Add distilled
water to each cell, if necessary, to bring the
level back up to the manufacturer’s required
level.
WARNING: Storage batteries give off
EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas while charging.
Do not allow smoking, open flames, sparks,
or spark producing equipment in the area
while charging.
Connect the red clip to the position terminal
of the battery. Connect the black clip to the
negative terminal of the battery. Insert the
DC plug into the DC receptacle to the
generator. After the battery is fully charged
remove the battery charging cable from the
generator and then disconnect from the battery
posts.
WARNING: Battery electrolyte fluid is
compressed of sulfuric acid that can be very
dangerous and cause severe burns. Do not
allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,
etc. If contact or spillage does occur, flush
the area with water immediately.
DC CIRCUIT
BREAKER
The maximum current available from the
battery charger circuit is 8.5 amps. An
automatic DC circuit breaker has been provided
to protect the circuit from overloads and
assure that the battery gets recharged. If an
overload occurs, the circuit breaker will trip.
After it cools, it will automatically reset itself.
The battery’s maximum rate of charge will
eventually reduce to less than 8.5 amps and
then to zero as the battery approaches a 100
percent state of charge.
STARTING THE UNIT
WARNING Gasoline is very dangerous.
Serious injury or death may result from fire
caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
1. Do not fill fuel tank with engine
running.
2. Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.
3. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
4. Follow all instructions and warnings
in the operator manual.
* Neutral - Hot = 120V
