OPERATION
8. Monitor the battery charger in accordance with
its operating instructions and switch it off when
indicated to do so.
9. Switch the battery charger OFF and unplug its
power supply cord from the generator.
10. Stop the generator unless it's being used to power
some other 240-Volt AC device(s).
11. Disconnect the battery charger's negative (-)
alligator clip or terminal clamp (black) from the
negative (-) terminal on the battery.
12. Disconnect the battery charger's positive (+)
alligator clip or terminal clamp (red) from the
positive (+) terminal on the battery.
13. Re-fit the battery's vent caps, if applicable. The
battery is now charged and ready for use.
TRANSPORTING THE
GENERATOR
The generator should be stopped and both the fuel
control switch and fuel cap vent should be turned to
the OFF position before transporting the generator.
Keep the unit level during transport to minimise the
possibility of fuel leakage or, if practicable, drain out
the fuel prior to transport as described in Draining the
Fuel.
If the generator has been operating, allow the unit to
cool down before loading it onto the transport vehicle.
The wheels are only intended for ease of moving
the generator around by hand. The wheels are not
suitable for towing the generator either on or off-road.
Use only the generator's fixed carry handles for
lifting the unit or attaching any load restraints such
as ropes or tie-down straps. Do not attempt to lift or
secure the generator by holding onto any of its other
components.
The generator is also equipped with an extendable
handle. To deploy it, push on the locking button
and pull on the handle until it's fully extended (see
Figure 19). To stow it, push on the locking button
and push on the handle until it's fully retracted. Only
extend or retract the handle while the generator is
stationary and resting on a horizontal surface.
The extendable handle is intended for ease of
wheeling the generator around by hand (see Figure
20). Do not use the extendable handle to lift the
generator entirely off the ground, tow it or up-end it.
