If enginefires, but does not continueto run, move chokelever
to FULLCHOKEand repeatstarting instructions.
IMPORTANT:Do not overloadthe generator.Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles.These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage
rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded,that breakeropens and
electricaloutputto that receptacleis lost. Read"Don't Overloadthe
Generator"carefully.
2.10STOPPINGTHEENGINE
1. Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine
with electrical devices pluggedin andturned on.

2.12 CHARGINGTHEBATTERY(ELECTRICSTART
UNITSONLY)
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will
remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
_tDo not permit smoking, flame, sparks
open
or any other source of heat around a battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and
rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely
corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns, if spill occurs flush area with
clear water immediately.
NOTE:
The battery shipped withthe generator has been fully charged.
A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for
prolongedperiodsof time. If the battery is unable to crankthe
engine,plugin the12V chargerincludedin the accessory box.
