3. Connect the black lead of battery charging cable into the negative (–) DC
terminal of the generator.
4. Connect the red lead of the battery charging cable to the positive (+) battery
terminal and the black lead to the negative (–) battery terminal.
5. Start the generator.
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is connected and the
generator is running. The vehicle or the generator may be damaged.
An overloaded DC circuit, excessive current drawn by the battery, or a wiring
problem will trip the DC circuit protector (the yellow indicator inside the clear
circuit protector button will pop out). If this happens, wait a few minutes before
pushing in the circuit protector button to resume operation. If the circuit
protector continues to go OFF, discontinue charging and see your authorized
Honda generator dealer. The DC circuit protector does not prevent
overcharging the battery.
