Using the 12 VDC Battery
Charger
Explosion. Batteries emit explosive gases while
charging. Keep fire and spark away. Wear protective
gear when working with batteries. Failure to do so
could result in death or serious injury.
Risk of burn. Do not open or mutilate batteries.
Batteries contain electrolyte solution which can
cause burns and blindness. If electrolyte contacts
skin or eyes, flush with water and seek immediate
medical attention.
Risk of burns. Batteries contain sulfuric acid and
can cause severe chemical burns. Wear protective
gear when working with batteries. Failure to do
so could result in death or serious injury.
Equipment damage. Do not make battery
connections in reverse. Doing so will result
in equipment damage.
The 12 VDC receptacle may be used to
recharge 12 VDC automotive batteries only.
The DC charging output is not regulated. The
circuit protector does not prevent over-
charging a battery.
1. Connect the charging cable to the genera-
tor first, then the battery. ALWAYS connect
the red lead to positive (+), and the black
to negative (-).
2. Start generator and use as normal.
Charging time will vary with battery size
and condition. Check voltage at battery
terminals once the charging cable has
been unplugged, or generator has been
shut down.
NOTE: This receptacle cannot recharge 6 Volt
batteries and cannot be used to crank an
engine having a discharged battery.
