Dc Operation - Honda EM600 Owner's Manual

DC operation
Start the engine and move the selector switch to the
DC position. The DC
receptacle 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 the charging cord first to the battery, then to the generator,
and disconnect the cord first at the generator.
B Disconnect the vehicle's grounded battery cable first, and after
charging, reconnect the grounded cable last. This procedure will prevent the
possibility of a short circuit and sparks if your tools accidentally make con-
tact between a battery terminal and the vehicle's frame or body.
CAUTION:
l
Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with the generator still
connected to the battery. The generator may be damaged.
l
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cord. Do
not reverse the charging cables, or serious damage to the generator and/or
battery may occur.
NOTE:
l
An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit breaker (push button
comes out). If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing the circuit
breaker to resume operation.
