Turn the fuel valve to the ON ( I ) position.
TRANSPORTING
Turn the engine switch OFF ( O ).
Disconnect any equipment that is plugged into the gen-
erator.
Verify the fuel valve is in the OFF ( O ) position.
Allow 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storing the
machine. Make sure engine and exhaust of unit are cool.
For security, insert the pins to secure the handles before
transporting.
Tilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels,
then roll the machine to the desired location.
If transporting in a vehicle, drain the fuel tank, close fuel
valve, and securely restrain the generator.
Provide a plastic sheet or absorbent pad below the gen-

USING THE BATTERY MAINTAINER
See Figure 24.
When storing the generator, the battery maintainer can be
connected to keep the battery fully charged and ready for use.
NOTE: The battery maintainer provided should only be used
with the 12V 15AH/ 20 HR lead acid battery model LP12-15
supplied with this generator.
Connect the battery maintainer to the power supply. Make
sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120
volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
Attach the other end of the battery maintainer to the
charging cable attached to the battery. The red light on
the plug will illuminate to show the battery is charging.
The battery will become slightly warm to the touch while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
When battery is fully charged, the red light will turn green.
NOTE: If the light does not illuminate, the fuse on the
charging cable may need to be replaced. Check the fuse
and replace if needed.
Disconnect the battery maintainer before operating the
generator. Place the cover on the charging cable when
not in use.
