WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution or explosion, do not
short circuit the battery terminals or charge in a sealed
container. Keep sparks and flame away.
WARNING:
Keep metal objects away from the battery terminals. Metal
objects can make a connection from one terminal to an-
other. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING BATTERY
See Figure 9.
The battery cables must be connected before the electric
start feature of the generator can be operated.
To connect battery cables:
 Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal first, then
connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. Make
sure all connections are tight.
NOTE: Be careful not to short across the terminals when
installing. Shorting the terminals together can cause
sparks, damage to the battery or generator, or even burns
or explosions.
 Cover the terminals with the rubber covers.
When removing the battery for replacement: disconnect
the negative (black) post, then the positive (red) post, being
careful not to short across the terminals. Always abide by the
safety warnings provided with the battery. Remove the battery
and dispose of according to local and state regulations.
