Generator Battery
Your generator is equipped with an automatic battery charging
circuit that charges the battery while the engine is running.
The battery will maintain a proper charge if the unit is used on
a regular basis (about once every two weeks). If it is used less
frequently, the battery should be connected to a trickle charger
or battery maintainer (not included) to keep the battery properly
charged.
Maximum charging rate should not exceed 1.5 amps. Follow
the instructions included with the battery charger. The battery
should be fully charged at least once per month. If the battery
is not able to start the engine, it can be started by manually
pulling the engine recoil cord. If the battery voltage is extremely
low, the charging circuit may not be able to re-charge the
battery. In this case, the battery must be connected to a
standard automotive style battery charger for re-charging
before it can be used.
Disconnect the Battery
1. Remove the protective cover from the black (–) battery
lead.
2. Disconnect the black (–) lead from the black (–) terminal on
the battery and store the cap screw and nut.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 for the red (+) battery lead.
4. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
