BATTERY MAINTENANCE
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 technician perform battery maintenance.
Burn hazard. The battery contains sulfuric acid
(electrolyte) which is highly corrosive and poisonous.
Wear protective clothing and eye protection when
working near the battery. Keep children away from the
battery.
NEVER smoke or work near sparks or other sources
of ignition. NEVER touch both battery terminals at the
same time with your hand or any non-insulated tools. If
battery acid contacts skin or clothing, flush immediately
with water and neutralize with baking soda.
The battery shipped with the generator has been fully
charged. A battery may lose some charge when not in use
for prolonged periods of time.
Note: Once started, the generator will charge the battery
after 30–60 minutes of use.
When the generator is not running, the included trickle
charger can remain connected and will maintain the battery
for an indefinite period of time. A red light on the charger
indicates charging in progress. A green light indicates
charging complete. Charge in a dry location.
1. Plug the charger into the battery charging port on the
control panel.
2. Plug the wall receptacle end of the battery charger into
a 120 Volt AC wall outlet.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery posts, terminals contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
1. Remove the two battery plate bolts and battery plate.
Tilt the battery forward and remove.
MAINTENANCE
2. Disconnect the negative (-) cable (black boot) from the
negative (-) battery post.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) battery cable (red boot) from
the positive (+) battery post.
Always connect the cables in the following sequence to
avoid possible shock.
4. On the replacement battery, connect the positive
(+) battery cable (red boot) to the battery positive (+)
terminal. Secure the boot over the battery post.
5. Connect the negative (-) battery cable (black boot) to
the negative (-) positive terminal. Secure the boot over
the battery post.
6. Install the battery in the battery tray. Install the battery
plate and bolts. Tighten the bolts securely.
Dispose of the used battery properly according to the
guidelines established by your local or state government.
STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free
operation and generator longevity.
Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate,
causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup in fuel lines,
fuel passages, and the engine. This corrosive buildup
restricts the flow of fuel, which can prevent the engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use
of fuel stabilizer significantly increases the storage life of
gasoline. Full-time use of fuel stabilizer is recommended.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
STORAGE TIME
Less than 1 month
2 to 6 months
6 months or longer
SHORT TERM STORAGE
• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes
before storage.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
• Wipe the generator with a moist cloth. Clean any debris
from the muffler cooling vents.
• Store the generator in a well-ventilated, dry location
