Snapper G1000 Generator

Stopping the Engine

1.Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.

2.Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3.Turn engine off according to instructions given in the engine owner’s manual.

4.Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

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.

Charging a Battery WARNING

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during recharging.

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 severe chemical burns.

DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during and for several minutes after charging a battery.

Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.

To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:

1.If necessary, clean battery posts or terminals.

2.Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery cells. DO NOT use tap water.

3.If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are installed and are tight.

4.Connect battery charge cable connector plug to the 12 Volt DC panel receptacle.

5.Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to battery post or terminal indicated by Positive, POS or (+) (Figure 3).

6.Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to battery post or terminal indicated by Negative, NEG, or () (Figure 3).

7.Start generator. Let the engine run while battery recharges.

8.When battery has charged, shut down engine (see “Stopping The Engine”)

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.
