BATTERY MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
The battery
(part no. DF1100-041)
shipped with the generator has been fully charged. The battery will re-
ceive charge when the engine is running. Remember to run the generator once a month for 20-30 minutes
to charge the battery. A charged battery will allow you to start the generator using the electric start switch
during your next time of need.
If the battery is out of charge, you can still manually start the generator using the recoil start with LPG as your
fuel source.
IMPORTANT:
If the generator is not used for a long period, it is recommended to disconnect the positive
battery cable from the battery to protect the battery from losing charge. After disconnecting the cable, cover
the free end with an insulator such as electrical tape. You may can also connect the battery to an automatic
trickle charger to keep the battery charged.
To reinstall/replace the battery:
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal first (black wire).
2. Disconnect the positive (+) battery terminal second (red wire).
3. To install a new battery, install the hold down bracket, insert the threaded rod and tighten with M6 nuts.
4. Connect the positive (+) battery terminal (red wire) first. Slide rubber boot over the connection hardware.
5. Connect the negative (-) battery terminal (black wire) second. Slide rubber boot over connection hardware.
NOTE:
Always recycle used batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations. Contact your local solid
waste collection site or recycling facility to obtain information on local recycling processes.
