If you remove
battery, insulate
the red, positive (+) battery cable
terminal. Insulate with electrical tape.
Exposed terminal may spark when
generator runs.
IMPORTANT: Make sure battery connec-
tions are the correct polarity. Electric start
generators use negative ground, 12-volt
DC starting system.
Model 5U935A has an electric starter. A
battery is not supplied with generator. You
must provide a 12-volt, 32-amp battery.
The positive and negative battery cables
are supplied with generator. You must
install these cables before mounting battery.
Always wear safety glasses when
working with battery. Make sure battery
terminals are clean. Make sure cable
connections are tight.
Always shut down engine before removing
or attaching battery cables. Always remove
the negative (–) cable first. Always attach
negative (–) cable last.
INSTALLING BATTERY CABLES TO
ENGINE
1. Attach the red, positive (+) battery
cable to the starter solenoid on engine
(See Figure 9).
2. Attach the black, negative (–) battery
cable to the engine block. Use the
bolt, nut, and two washers provided
with the battery cables. Use long
mounting hole on opposite side of
engine from starter solenoid. Attach
cable as shown in Figure 9.

Installation
FUEL
Gasoline presents a
hazard of fire or
explosion. Gasoline is flammable. Its
vapor is explosive.
• Keep fuel out of children’s reach.
• Refuel generator in a well-vented
area. Do not fill fuel tank in the dark.
Do not refuel while engine is
running. Unhook all electrical loads
and shut off engine before refueling.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Always
allow room for fuel to expand. If you
overfill tank, fuel can overflow onto
hot engine. This can cause fire or
explosion. After refueling, tightly
close fuel tank cap.
