the engine.
3. Contact an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.
4. DO NOT operate engine until oil pressure is corrected.
Charging a Battery
Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged
12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery.
• DO NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries.
• DO NOT use the unit to crank an engine having a
discharged battery.
_i, WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive
,-- hydrogen gas during recharging.
1:_,_ _ Hydrogen gas stays near battery for a
long time after battery has been charged.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause explosion.
You can be blinded or severely injured.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely
caustic.
Contact with battery fluid will cause severechemical burns.
• DONOT allowanyopenflame,spark,heat,or lit cigarette
duringandfor several m inutesafter charging a battery.
• Wearprotective goggles, r ubberapron,and rubbergloves.
To recharge12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
1. Checkfluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add
ONLYdistilled water to cover separators in battery
cells. DO NOT use tap water.
2. If battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they
are installed and are tight.
3. If necessary,clean battery terminals.
_i, WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds - chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
4. Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel
receptacle identified by the words "12V IOA D.C."
5. Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to
the positive (+) battery terminal.
