(Models RGH5500IE, RGH7500IE, and RGH11000IE)

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Battery contains sulfuric acid. Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Do not tilt generator with battery installed. Tilting could cause bat- tery 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 min- utes. Call a doctor at once. Battery acid is poisonous.

•If swallowed, drink large amounts of water or milk. Fol- low with milk of magnesia or vegetable oil. Call a doctor at once.

CAUTION: If you remove bat- tery, insulate the red, positive (+) battery cable terminal. Insulate with electrical tape. Exposed ter- minal 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 RGH5500IE, RGH7500IE, and RGH11000IE have an electric starter. A battery is not supplied with generator. You must provide a 12-volt, 32-amp-hour bat- tery. The positive and negative battery cables are supplied with generator. You must in-

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 (–) cable first. Always attach negative (–) cable last.

INSTALLING BATTERY CABLES TO ENGINE

1.Attach the red, positive (+) battery cable to the starter solenoid on engine (see Figure 8). The starter solenoid is located directly above the starter on Model RGH11000IE. This cable is fac- tory installed.

CAUTION: Do not over tighten positive terminal on starter sole- noid. Positive terminal could ro- tate and cut into negative termi- nal, causing a short.

2.Attach the black, negative (–) battery cable to the engine block. Use the bolt, nut, and two washers provided with the battery cables. Use long mounting hole on opposite side of engine from starter solenoid. Attach cable as shown in Figure 9.

MOUNTING BATTERY TO GENERATOR

1.Secure battery to generator by battery hold-down system. This system consists of the battery mounting bracket, hook bolts, and nut (see Figure 10).

Note: Model RGH11000IE battery is located on opposite side as shown (see Figure 11, page 9).

2.Locate the red, positive (+) battery cable from starter solenoid. Connect it to the positive (+) battery terminal (see Figures 12 and 13, page 9).

3.Locate the black, negative (–) battery cable attached to engine block. Connect it to the negative (–) battery terminal (see Figures 12 and 13, page 9).

4.Check battery before starting engine. Make sure fluid levels are full. Make sure battery is charged.
