Battery Maintenance (Electric Start Models Only)
Batteries slowly lose strength when sitting idle through a process called self-discharge.
If a battery is allowed to discharge past a certain point, it cannot be recharged and must
be replaced. Therefore, it is best to keep the battery fully charged at all times to achieve
maximum service life.
Because batteries for the electric start generator models covered in this manual are sold
separately, and because there are different styles of batteries available, it is always best
to follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations when handling, charging, storing,
servicing, or replacing a battery.
Batteries produce hydrogen gas while charging. If exposed to an ignition source, hydrogen
gas can explode possibly causing property damage, serious injury and/or death. To avoid
a hydrogen gas explosion, charge batteries in a well-ventilated place away from open
flames, sparks, or any other sources of ignition.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is highly corrosive. Contact with skin can
cause severe burns; contact with eyes can cause permanent blindness; and accidental
ingestion can cause death. To avoid contact with sulfuric acid, always wear protective
equipment when handling batteries. If acid contacts skin, rinse the area with cool water
for 10-15 minutes. Immediately remove contaminated clothing and rinse the underlying
skin with cool water for 10-15 minutes.
Engine Idle Adjustment
The engine idle speed is set at the factory and should not require user adjustment. Tampering
with the governor can damage your engine and/or generator and will void the warranty.
Improper adjustment of the engine idle speed can damage you engine and/or generator
set and will void the warranty. Any inspection and or adjustment of the engine idle should
be done by an authorized service center. Tampering with or modifying the engine speed
governor can damage you engine and/or generator set and will void the warranty.
The generator and engine are factory set to supply the correct frequency and voltage
when running. Tampering with the factory governors and adjustments could damage the
generator and will void your warranty. To avoid damaging the engine or generator set, do
not modify the generator settings or not adjust the engine speed.
