DC application
The DC terminals may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries
only.
m Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames, and
cigarettes away. To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the
battery, connect charging cables first to the battery, then to the generator,
and disconnect cables at the generator first.
CAUTION:
l
Do not attempt to start an automobile engine while the generator is still
connected to the battery. The generator may be damaged.
l
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive generator terminal. Do
not reverse the charging cables, or serious damage to the generator and/or
battery may occur.
NOTE:
l
The DC terminals may be used while the AC power is in use.
l
An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit protector (push
button
comes out). If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing in the
circuit protector to resume operation.
