CAUTION
•
For use with 12V direct current outlet, always
keep the ECO mode deactivated (OFF Position).
•
You can use the 12V direct current outlet and
the 230V current at the same time, but keep
the ECO mode deactivated (OFF Position) at
all times.
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging
Cable is connected and the generator is running.
It will not give the battery a boost of power. The
Vehicle or the generator may be damaged. Charge
only vented wet lead acid batteries. Other types
of batteries may burst, causing personal injury
or damage.
WARNING
Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE hydrogen
gas while charging. Do not allow smoking, open
flames, sparks, or spark producing equipment
in the area while charging.
WARNING
Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised of sulfuric
acid that can be very dangerous and cause severe
burns. Do not allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin,
clothing, etc. If contact or spillage does occur,
flush the area with water immediately.
Do not continue to charge a battery that becomes
hot or is fully charged.
1. Before connecting the battery charging cable
to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect
the vehicle battery ground cable from the
negative (–) battery terminal.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the DC
receptacle of the generator.
3. Connect the red (+) battery charger lead to the
red (+) battery terminal.
4. Connect the black (–) battery charger lead to
the black (–) battery terminal.
5. Start the generator.
NOTE:
When the battery circuit is in use the AC capacity
is reduced by 100 watts. Make sure the combined
load is within the rated limits.
WARNING
Do not continue to charge a battery that becomes
hot or is fully charged.

DC CIRCUIT PROTECTOR
A DC circuit protector has been provided to
protect the circuit from overloads. If an overload
occurs, the circuit protector will trip. The circuit
protector may be reset by pushing the button of
the protector.
Charging a large capacity battery or a totally
discharged battery may cause the DC breaker to
turn off. In these cases, a separate battery charger
unit connected to an AC power source is
recommended instead of the DC receptacle on
the generator.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads.
Never start or stop the generator with
electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
Let the generator run at no-load for two minutes to stabilize
internal temperatures of the engine and generator.
2. Flip the engine switch to"OFF"(O) position.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF"(O) position.
If a cover is used, do not install until unit has cooled.
If the engine will not be used for a period of two
weeks or longer, please see the Storage section
for proper engine and fuel storage.
