Battery
The generator set requires a 12V battery (negatively grounded) for engine cranking
and powering the electronic control system. When the generator set is running, the
battery is charged from the engine-driven battery alternator. When the set is not
running, an AC powered battery charger is needed to keep the battery charged.
As part of the installation, make sure that the battery is secured to the battery tray
with the strap provided.
FIGURE 14. BATTERY LOCATION
CAUTION
Ensure that the AC power to the battery charger is disconnected when
installing the battery.
CAUTION
Wear proper safety protection when working around batteries. Keep open
flames and sparks away from the equipment.
