DC OPERATION
The DC receptacle should ONLY be used for charging 12-volt
automotive type batteries. The DC charging output is not regulated.
This means that the charging output is constant; it does not decrease
as the battery reaches full charge. Check the battery voltage frequently
while charging to prevent overcharging the battery.
When using the DC output, turn the Eco Throttle switch to the OFF
position.
Connecting the battery charging cable (optional equipment):
1. Before connecting the battery charging cable to a battery that is
installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle battery ground cable
from the negative (–) battery terminal.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain
lead and lead components. Wash hands after handling.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the DC receptacle of the
generator.

The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the
battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a face
shield, or have a skilled mechanic
perform the battery maintenance.
