Generator Battery
Your generator is equipped with an automatic battery charging
circuit that charges the battery while the engine is running. The
battery will maintain a proper charge if the unit is used at least
once every 180 days for 2 hours with ECO mode off. If it is used
less frequently, the battery should be connected to a trickle
charger or battery maintainer (not included) to keep the battery
properly charged.
Maximum charging rate should not exceed 1.6 amps. Follow the
instructions included with the battery charger. The battery should
be fully charged at least twice per year. If the battery is not able to
start the engine, it can be started by manually pulling the engine
recoil cord. If the battery voltage is extremely low, the charging
circuit may not be able to re-charge the battery. In this case, the
battery must be connected to a standard automotive style battery
charger for re-charging before it can be used.
Disconnect the Battery
1. Pull two halves of battery connector apart.
Charge the Battery
For a generator equipped with batteries for electric starting,
proper battery maintenance and storage should be followed.
A trickle charger or battery maintainer should be used to charge
the battery while the generator is in storage. Maximum charging
rate should not exceed 1.6 amps. Follow the instructions included
with the trickle charger or battery maintainer. The battery should
be fully charged at least once per month.
1. Remove the battery from the generator.
2. Charge battery following the battery charger's instructions.
3. After charging, leave the battery for 0.5 to 1 hour before
checking the voltage. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts,
additional charging is necessary.
WARNING
A
Electrolyte inside the battery is harmful to skin and eyes.
Electrolyte may pose an increased risk of harm if not handled
properly.
If the battery leaks and electrolyte gets in your eyes, do not
rub them. Instead, rinse them with clean running water and
immediately seek medical attention. If left untreated, electrolyte
can cause permanent eye injury. Keep away from children.
– Do not charge the battery with charging voltage over 15.0V
and charging current over 1.6A.
– Do not charge the battery below 32°F (0°C) or above
113°F (45°C).
– If the battery becomes hot to the touch, stop charging.
Allow battery to cool before resuming.
