WARNINGS:
DC power can be used when also using AC power, as long as the total power required is not
more than the sum of the AC and DC power outputs.
DC current passing through the load may cause the DC overcurrent protector to kick in. First

WARNING:
To prevent sparks from sparking next to the battery, make sure to connect the charging cable to the
battery first, and then to the generator. Similarly, make sure to disconnect the cable from the generator
first, and then from the battery.
When charging a car battery with the generator, make sure to disconnect the battery ground wire first. Once
the battery is charged, wait until you have removed the charging cable before reconnecting the battery ground
wire. This will prevent a short circuit or sparks, even if you accidentally touch the battery with the car frame.
Don’t start the vehicle engine while the generator is still connected to the battery.
Connect the positive electrode of the charging cable to the positive electrode of the battery. Do not mix
up the polarities of the electrodes, as this could result in serious damage to the generator and the battery.
Batteries emit an explosive gas while charging, and should be kept away from flames, pyrotechnics, and
static charges in the ventilation.
