4. Connect red battery cable to battery positive terminal,
indicated by POSITIVE, POS, or (+).
5. Connect black battery cable to negative battery
terminal, indicated by NEGATIVE, NEG, or (-).
6. Ensure hardware on both positive and negative
battery terminals is secure.
7. Reinstall 15 Amp fuse in control panel.
8. Set control panel system switch to AUTO.
9. Reset exercise time. See Setting Exercise Timer.
DON'T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES.
TAKE USED BATTERY TO RECYCLING
COLLECTION CENTERS.
Charging the Battery
If it is necessary to charge the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Set control panel system switch to OFF.
2. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.
3. Disconnect negative (-) battery cable from negative
(-) battery terminal.
NOTICE: Failure to disconnect negative (-) battery cable will
result in equipment failure.
• DO NOT attempt to jump start the generator.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to
follow this instruction will void engine and
generator warranty.
4. Charge battery with battery charger at 2 Amps until
battery is fully charged. DO NOT exceed 13.7 volts
when charging.
WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive
hydrogen gas during recharging. Slightest spark
will ignite hydrogen and cause explosion. Battery
electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely
caustic. Contact with battery contents will cause
severe chemical burns. A battery presents a risk
of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
•
DO NOT dispose of a battery in a fire. Recycle the
battery.
•
DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit
cigarette during and for several minutes after
charging a battery.
•
DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
•
Wear protective gloves, rubber apron, rubber boots,
and rubber gloves.
•
Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
•
Use tools having insulated handles.
5. Connect negative (-) battery cable to negative (-)
battery terminal.
6. Ensure hardware on both positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals is secure.
7. Reinstall 15 Amp fuse in control panel.
CAUTION With the system switch set to AUTO, the
engine may crank and start at any time without
warning.
•
To prevent possible injury that may be caused by
sudden starts, always set the system switch to OFF if
performing maintenance on the system.
•
Remove the 15 Amp fuse before working on or
around the generator or transfer switch.
8. Set control panel system switch to AUTO.
9. Reset exercise timer. See Setting the Exercise Timer.
Engine Adjustment
There are regional variances in the composition of natural
gas. Each generator leaves the factory set for NG operation. If
the generator frequency is outside the ranges given below,
the combustibility of the gas at the installation site may be
different from the fuel used at the factory.
• Minimum generator frequency is 57 Hz at full
load.
• Maximum generator frequency is 62.0 - 62.5 Hz
at no-load.
To adjust the engine for this difference, proceed as follows:
1. Remove four screws and control panel from the
enclosure to expose the main circuit breaker.
2. Connect an accurate frequency meter to line side of
the main circuit breaker or connect tachometer on
spark plug lead.
3. Ensure that the 15 Amp fuse is installed.
4. Set the main circuit breaker ON.
5. Set the control panel system switch to AUTO.
6. Push MANUAL OVER-RIDE on the control panel.
When the engine starts, allow it to warm up for five
minutes.
