- Honda Portable Generator Owner's Manual

DC application

The DC

terminals may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries

only.

m Batteries produce explosive gases.

Keep

sparks, flames, and

cigarettes away. To prevent the possibility of creating .a spark near the

battery, connect charging cables first to the battery,

then to the generator,

and disconnect cables first at the generator.

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with the generator still

connected to the battery. The generator may be damaged.

Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive generator terminal. Do

not reverse the charging cables, or serious damage to the generator and/or

battery may occur.

NOTE:

The DC terminals may be used while the AC power is in use.

An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit protector (push button

comes out). If this happens, wait a few minutes

before

pushing the circuit

protector to resume operation.
