GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING! (Continued)
Close the lid when not in use and while

driving the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an

electric shock and failure.
Many accessories that can be plugged in

draw power from the vehicle's battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,

coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will
discharge the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accesso-

ries, or long periods of the vehicle not being
started (with accessories still plugged in),
the vehicle must be driven a sufficient
(Continued)
length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
