Charging The Generator Batterv
& WARNING
Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE hydrogen
gas while charging. Do not allow smoking, open
flames, sparks, or spark producing equipment in
the area while charging.
& WARNING
Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised of sulfuric
acid that can be very dangerous and cause severe
burns. Do not allow this fluid to contact eyes, skin,
clothing, etc. If contact or spillage does occur,
flush the area with water immediately.
To ensure the battery remains charged, the
supplied battery charger should be plugged
into the generator. Plug the cord from the
charger into the charging port on the generator
control panel. Plug the charger into a 120 volt
AC wall outlet.

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel hoses or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads
to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
When the generator set is not being operated, or
is being stored more than one month, follow these
instructions to avoid engine problems:
1-ADD a properly formulated commercially FUEL
STABILIZER to the tank if it is not already added.
2-Operate the engine for 5-10 minutes to circulate
treated fuel into fuel lines and carburetor before
shutdown.
3- After engine cools down, remove all gasoline
from the fuel tank. Use a commercially available,
non-conductive vacuum siphon.
