5.6 Battery Maintenance
WARNING
Automated Machinery
Accidental or remote starting of the generator set can cause severe personal
injury or death. Arcing at battery terminals or in light switches or other
equipment, and flames or sparks can ignite battery gas causing severe
personal injury.
Always follow these procedures to avoid injury and/or damage:
• Ventilate the battery area before working on or near the battery.
• Wear safety glasses.
• Do not smoke.
• Switch a work light on or off away from the battery.
Before starting work on the generator set, make sure:
• The generator set is in Off mode.
• The battery charger is disabled (if applicable).
• The negative (–) battery cable has been removed first from the battery to
prevent starting.
• Once work is complete, reconnect the negative (-) battery cable last.
Replace the battery charger if the battery keeps running down.
Always:
• Keep the battery case and terminals clean and dry and the terminals tight.
• Remove battery cables with an insulated wrench or battery terminal puller.
• Make sure which terminal is positive (+) and which is negative (-) before
making battery connections, always removing the negative (-) cable first and
reconnecting it last to reduce arcing.
NOTICE
If the battery needs to be replaced, make sure that the replacement battery
specifications match those found in the Model Specifications in this manual.
