" Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
° Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240VoltAC,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical
loads.
° DO NOT connect 240Volt loads to the 120Volt duplex
receptacles.
° DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
. DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
* DO NOT
OVERLOAD

Engine
I.
Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine
with electrical devices ph_ed
in and turned ON.
2.
Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures
of engine and generator.
3.
Turn start switch to "Stop"
position.
Charging
a Battery
Your generator
has the capability of recharging a discharged
12Volt automotive
or utility style storage battery, DO
NOT use the unit to charge any 6Volt batteries. DO NOT
use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery,
DANGER
DO NOT allow any open
flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette
during and for several
minutes
after charging
a batter_;
Wear
protective
goggles,
rubber
apron, and rubber
gloves.
To recharge
12Volt
batteries,
proceed
as follows:
I.
Check
fluid
level in all battery
cells. If necessary,
add
ONLY
distilled
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.
4.

NOTE:
Use an automotive
hydrometer
to test battery
state
of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer's instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific gravity
of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer)
is 1.260 or higher.
