BATTERY CHARGING
NOTE:
• The generator DC rated voltage is 12V.
• Start the engine first, and then connect
the generator to the battery for charging.
• Before starting to charge the battery,
make sure that the DC protector is turned
on.
1. Start the engine.
2. Connect the red battery charger lead to
the positive (+) battery terminal.
3. Connect the black battery charger lead
to the negative (-) battery terminal.
4. Turn the ECS switch (Black) “off” to
start battery charging.
CAUTION
• Be sure the ESC switch (Black) is turned
off while charging the battery.
• Be sure to connect the red battery
charger lead to the positive (+)battery

NOTE:
• Follow instructions in the owner’s
manual for the battery to determine
the end of battery charging.
• Measure the specific gravity of
electrolyte to determine if the battery is
fully charged. At full charge, the
electrolyte specific gravity is between
1.26 and 1.28.
• It is advisable to check the specific
gravity of the electrolyte at least once
every hour to prevent overcharging the
battery.
WARNING
Never smoke or make and break
connections at the battery while
charging. Sparks may ignite the battery
