WARNING
The electrolyte is a diluted sulfuric acid that is harmful to
the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive,
The following precautions must always be taken:
1. Always wear full eye protection and protective clothing.
2. Where electrolyte contacts skin, wash off immediately
with water.
3. If electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush immediately and
thoroughly with water. Seek immediate medical
attention.
4. Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid
neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a
solution of one pound of biocarbonate of soda (baking
soda) to one gallon of water. The biocarbonate of soda
is to be added until the evidence of reaction, foaming,
has ceased the resulting liquid is to be flushed with
water and the area dried.
DANGER: EXPLOSIVE FIRE RISK
Never smoke near batteries
Do not cause a flame or spark in the battery area.
Always discharge static electricity from your body before
touching batteries by first touching a ground metal
surface.
SERVICING BATTERIES
Batteries used on these units may over time lose water.
This is especially true if you are using a trickle charger to
maintain your battery. When refilling the battery with
water, use only distilled water. Tap water will shorten the
service life of the battery.
Never fill the battery above the fill line. Over filling above
the upper level line may cause electrolyte to overflow,
resulting in corrosion to the engine or nearby parts.
Immediately wash off any spilled electrolyte following the
procedure above.
BATTERY CHARGING
Units equipped with electric start have a small flywheel
charge built into the engine flywheel assembly for
recharging the starting battery. This flywheel charger
generates a small AC current that passes through a
rectifier/regulator assembly on the engine to produce a DC
charging current. This circuit is not designed to be used as a
battery charging circuit to recharge dead batteries.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Always connect the positive cable first and the negative
cable last. When disconnecting, remove the negative cable
first and the positive cable last. Failure to connect and
disconnect in the proper sequence can cause equipment
damage.
Observe polarities: connect the positive (+) battery
terminal to the (+) cable from the engine starter; the
negative (-) battery terminal is connected to the negative
BATTERY INSTALLATION
CAUTION
In the following battery installation procedure, check to be
sure the selector switch remains in the ‘off’ position. This
should be your last step before initial start-up.
A customer supplied twelve-volt battery is required to
complete the installation. Installation of the highest CCA
rated battery, within the correct BCI group (size), will
increase cold weather starting performance. Gel batteries
should not be used with the battery tender installed in the
generator enclosure.
Votlage BCI Group MIN. CCA Rating
12 26 500
Installation and servicing of batteries must be performed
or supervised only by persons knowledgeable of batteries
and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized persons
away from batteries. When installing or replacing batteries,
use the proper group/size starting battery. The battery
should be a maintenance free lead acid design. Deep cycle
batteries will not work for this application.
CAUTION: PERSONAL DANGER
NEVER dispose of a battery in a fire. The battery is capable
of exploding.
DO NOT open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte
is known to be harmful to the skin and eyes and to be
very toxic.
These generator sets are all NEGATIVE ground. Be very
careful not to connect the battery in reverse polarity, as
this may short circuit the battery charging system on the
engine.
CAUTION
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high
short circuit current. The following precautions must be
observed when working with batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Check both the battery cable ends and the battery posts
to be sure they are free of corrosion.
4. Always connect the battery positive cable first and then
connect the battery negative cable. When removing the
battery cables from the battery, reverse the procedure
and disconnect the negative cable first and then the
positive cable.
5. Be sure all connections are tight and coat the terminals
and cable ends with dielectric grease.
