Instructions For Long Term Storage; Battery Boost Starting; Electric Wiring - Kubota J106-STD Operator's Manual

BInstructions for Long Term Storage
1. When storing the generator for long periods of time,
remove the battery, adjust the electrolyte to the proper
level, and store in a dry and dark place.
2. The battery naturally discharges while it is stored.
Recharge it once a month in summer, and every 2
months in winter.
BBattery Boost Starting
To avoid serious personal injury.
A Battery gases can explode. Keep
cigarettes, sparks, and flames away
from battery.
A If generator battery is frozen, do not
battery boost start engine.
A Do not connect other end of negative
(-) jumper cable to negative (-)
terminal of generator battery.
When battery boost starting
instructions below to safely start the engine.
1. Bring helper battery of the same voltage as disabled
generator within easy cable reach.
2. Put on safety goggles and rubber gloves.
3. Ensure the vent caps are securely in place. (if
equipped)
4. Cover vent caps with damp rags. Do not allow the rag
to touch the battery terminals.
5. Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)
terminal of the dead battery and clamp the other end
of the same cable to the positive (red, (+) or pos.)
terminal of the helper battery.
(1) Dead battery
(2) Lay a damp rag over vent caps.
(3) Jumper cables
(4) Engine block or frame
(5) Helper battery
(A) Connect cables in numerical order.
Disconnect in reverse order after use.
engine, follow the
PERIODIC SERVICE
6. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or
neg.) terminal of the helper battery.
7. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of
the generator as far from the dead battery as possible.
8. Start the disabled generator.
9. disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse
order of attachment. (Steps 7, 6 and 5).
10. Remove and discard the damp rags.
A This machine has a 12 volt negative 1 ground starting
system.
A Use only same voltage for jump starting.
A Use of a higher voltage source
electrical system could result in severe damage to
generators electrical system.

ELECTRIC WIRING

To avoid personal injury:
Shorting of electric cable or wiring may
cause a fire.
A Check to see if electric cables and
wiring are swollen, hardened or
cracked.
A Keep dust and water away from all
power connections.
Loose wiring and terminal parts
make bad connections, be sure to
repair them before starting the
engine.
Damaged wiring reduces the capacity of electrical parts.
Change or repair damaged wiring immediately.
