NOTE:
The generator is equipped with a battery trickle charger that is
active when the unit is set up for automatic operation. With the
battery installed and utility power source voltage available, the
battery receives a trickle charge while the engine is not run-
ning, to prevent self-discharge. The trickle charger is designed
to help extend the life of the battery by maintaining the battery
when the unit is not running. The trickle charge feature cannot
be used to recharge a discharged battery.
Before installing and connecting the battery, complete the follow-
ing steps:
1.
Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.
2.
Turn off utility power supply to the transfer switch.
3.
Remove the 10A and 15A fuses from the generator control
panel.
Battery cables were factory connected at the generator (Figure
