cable to the “bat+” terminal first. Then connect the
negative battery cable to the “bat-” terminal. Make
sure all connections are clean and tight. Reverse the
sequence when disconnecting, disconnect the
negative cable first. These engines produce enough
direct current to keep a battery charged under normal
operating conditions but were not intended to be used
as a battery charger.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
Lead acid batteries produce explosive hydro-
gen gas when charging. Keep sparks, flames, and
burning cigarettes away from the battery. Ventilate
the area when charging or using the battery in an
enclosed space. Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric
acid, which causes severe burns. If acid contacts
eyes, skin or clothing, flush well with water. For con-
tact with eyes, get immediate medical attention.
BATTERY CHARGING
Units equipped with electric start have a small fly-
wheel charger built into the engine flywheel assembly
for recharging the starting battery. This flywheel char-
ger generates a small AC current that passes through
a diode assembly to produce a DC charging current
of about 1 to 3 AMPS. This circuit is not designed to
be used as a battery charging circuit to recharge dead
batteries.
OIL ALERT SYSTEM
This WILDCAT POWER GEN generator is equipped
standard with low oil shutdown systems. The Honda
engine uses an oil pressure switch system. This low
oil warning system will automatically stop the engine
before the oil level reaches a critical danger point.
This feature is designed to prevent costly repairs
and downtime. CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Allowing the engine to shutdown repeatedly on low oil
level may cause excessive wear which can be
cumulative.
INITIAL START UP
The throttle control on these generators is preset and
locked to operate at 3600 RPM (nominal) with no load
speed set at 3690 RPM. Only a trained service
technician should be allowed to adjust this speed
setting.
NOTICE: ENGINE START LOCKOUT
This unit
will not start
if it is low on oil. The
lubricating oil level must be at the
full
mark before
the engine will start and run.
BASIC OPERATION
ELECTRIC STARTING (LP/NG only)
When operating on LP or NG, you will have to
always use the electric start to get the unit running.
Because of the engine vacuum need to activate the
fuel system it is almost impossible to manual start
the unit using LP or NG.
1.
Check oil level. Refill as needed
2.
Turn on the LP/NG fuel supply
3.
Push the On/Off switch.
