3. Remove the cover from the battery's negative (-) terminal
and connect the black cable to the battery's negative (-) ter-
minal as shown in Fig. 10.
The generator's positive pole has already been connected.
Double check to confirm that the connection is secure.
4. Return the battery into position and use the rubber belts to
fasten the battery.
5. Reinstall and secure the battery access cover.
NOTICE:
If you do not plan to use the generator for a long
period of time, we recommend to DISCONNECT the
negative battery cable from the battery to protect the
battery from losing charge. After disconnecting the cable,
cover the free end with an insulator such as electrical
tape. You may also choose to use a trickle charger (not
included) to maintain battery charge.
STEP 4 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety, the
generator should be properly grounded.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut on the front
control panel (Fig. 11) against a grounding wire. A generally
acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire.
This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a
copper, brass, or steel grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
Wire and grounding rods are not included with the generator.
NOTE: Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician to check the area codes.
WARNING:
Failure to properly ground the generator increases your risk of electric shock.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 3000 FEET
The fuel system on this generator may be affected by operation at high altitudes. Proper operation can be
ensured by installing an altitude kit at altitudes higher than 3000 feet above sea level. At elevations above
8000 feet, the engine may experience a decrease in performance, even with the proper altitude kit. Operat-
ing this generator without said kit may increase the engine's emissions and decrease both fuel economy
and performance. Please contact your authorized service center for important information regarding these
modifications.
