BATTERY (MODELS 3WY46, 3WY45, AND 3WY47 ONLY)

Battery gives off explosive gases.

Keep sparks, flames, and cigarettes away. Do not remove or install battery cables when engine is cranking or running. Only service or use battery in a well-vented area.

Battery contains sulfuric acid.

Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Do not tilt generator with battery installed. Tilting could cause battery acid to spill. Wear protective clothing and face shield when servicing. Keep out of children’s reach.

•If battery acid gets on your skin, wash with water.

•If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water at least 15 minutes. Call a doctor at once.

Battery acid is poisonous.

•If swallowed, drink large amounts of water or milk. Follow with milk

of magnesia or vegetable oil. Call a doctor at once.

If you remove battery, insulate

the red, positive (+) battery cable terminal. Insulate with electrical tape. Exposed terminal may spark when generator runs.

IMPORTANT: Make sure battery connec- tions are the correct polarity. Electric start generators use negative ground, 12-volt DC starting system.

Models 3WY46, 3WY45, and 3WY47 have an electric starter. A battery is not supplied with generator. You must provide a 12- volt, 32-amp-hour battery. The positive and negative battery cables are supplied with generator. You must install these cables before mounting battery.

Always wear safety glasses when working with battery. Make sure battery terminals are clean. Make sure cable connections are tight.

Always shut down engine before removing or attaching battery cables. Always remove the negative (Ð) cable first. Always attach negative (Ð) cable last.

INSTALLING BATTERY CABLES TO ENGINE

1.Attach the red, positive (+) battery cable to the starter solenoid on engine (See Figure 13). The starter solenoid is located directly above the starter on Model 3WY47. This cable is factory installed.
