IMPORTANT: D o not overloadthe generator.Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles.These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage
rating of any circuit breakeris exceeded,that breaker opens and
electricaloutput to that receptacleis lost. Read"Don't Overloadthe
Generator"carefully.

2.12CHARGING THEBATTERY ( ELECTRIC START
UNITS ONLY)
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.
The battery shipped with the generatorhas been fully charged.
A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for
prolongedperiodsof time. If the battery is unable to crank the
engine, plug in the 12V charger includedin the accessory box
(see section"Chargingthe Battery"). RUNNING THEGENERATOR
DOESNOTCHARGE THE BATTERY.
Use battery chargerplug to keepthe battery chargedand readyfor
use. Batterycharging should be done in a dry location.
1. Plug charger into "Battery ChargerInput" jack, located on the
control panel.Plug wall receptacleend of the battery charger
into a 120 Volt AC wall outlet (Figure13).
2. Unplugbattery chargerfrom wall outlet and control paneljack
when generatoris going to be in use.
NOTE:
Do not use the battery charger for more than 48 hours at one
charge.
