BATTERY CHARGER CONNECTION
The generator has been equipped with a 10 Amp battery charger
installed. This charger needs to be plugged into an appropriate
120VAC 15 amp outlet.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Stationary Emergency Generators installed
with automatic transfer switches will crank
and start automatically when NORMAL
(UTILITY) source voltage is removed or is
below an acceptable preset level. To prevent
such automatic start-up and possible injury
to personnel, do not connect battery cables
until certain that; the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
switch is in the OFF position; the 15A fuse
has been removed from the control box (see
Start-up Check List); normal source voltage
at the transfer switch is correct and the sys-
tem is ready to be placed into operation.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture
around the battery for several hours after
charging. The slightest spark can ignite the
gas and cause an explosion. Such an explo-
sion can shatter the battery and cause blind-
ness or other injury. Any area that houses a
storage battery must be properly ventilated.
Do not allow smoking, open flame, sparks or
any spark producing tools or equipment near
the battery.
Installation
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely
caustic sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns. Do not permit fluid to contact
eyes, skin, clothing, painted surfaces, etc.
Wear protective goggles, protective clothing
and gloves when handling a battery. If fluid
is spilled, flush the affected area immedi-
ately with clear water.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The
battery is capable of exploding.
Do not open or mutilate the battery.
Released electrolyte can be toxic and harm-
ful to the skin and eyes.
