2.10.3 RESTARTING

If trying to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it shuts down,
the engine may NOT start. The system needs 5 to 10 seconds to
reset.
If the engine is restarted after such a shutdown and the low oil
pressure has not been corrected, the engine will run for about 10
seconds as described above and then stop.

2.11 CHARGING A BATTERY

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen

gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will
remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks or

any other source of heat around a battery. Wear
protective goggles, rubber apron and rubber
gloves when working around a battery. Battery
electrolyte fluid is an extremely corrosive
sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe
burns. If spill occurs flush area with clear water
immediately.
Use battery charger plug to keep the battery charged and ready for
use. Battery charging should be done in a dry location.
1. Plug charger into "Battery Charger Input" jack, located on the
control panel. Plug wall receptacle end of the battery charger
into a 120 Volt AC wall outlet (Figure 13).
Figure 13 - Battery Charger Jack
2. Unplug battery charger from wall outlet and control panel jack
when generator is going to be in use.
Do not use the battery charger for more than 48 hours at one
charge.
