Stopping the Engine
I. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop
engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned
ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn engine off according to instructions given in the
engine owner's manual.
4. Move fuel valve to "Off' position.
Charging a Battery
Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged
12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery. DO
NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries. DO NOT
use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
WARNING
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit
cigarette during and for several minutes after charging a
battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.
To recharge 12. Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
1. [f necessary, clean battery posts or terminals.
2. Check fluid level in all battery ceils. If necessary, add
ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery
cells. DO NOT use tap water.
3. If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure
they are installed and are tight.
4. Connect battery charge cable connector plug to the
12 Volt DC panel receptacle.

NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery
state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer's instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific
gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or
higher.
