2.11 CHARGING THE BATTERY
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.


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.
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.
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.
3.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

3.2.3 EMISSIONS INFORMATION
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that
this generator comply with exhaust and evaporative emission
standards. This generator is certified to meet the applicable EPA
emission levels on gasoline. The emission control system on this
generator consists of the following:
• Fuel System
~ Carburetor
~ Fuel Tank/cap
~ Fuel Lines
~ Evaporative Vent Lines
• Exhaust System
~ Exhaust Manifold
~ Muffler
It is important to perform the service specified in the Maintenance
Schedule to ensure that the generator complies with the applicable
emission standards for the duration of its useful life. Additionally,
emissions critical maintenance must be performed as scheduled
in order for the Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical
maintenance consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in
accordance with the Maintenance Schedule. Service and repairs
may be performed by any capable person or repair shop.
