Operating Automatic Idle Control, Receptacle

Stopping the Engine

•Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles.Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

•Put the idle control switch in the "Off' position.

•Let engine run at no-load for 30 seconds to stabilize the internal temperatures of engine and alternator.

•Move run/stop switch to "Stop".

•Close the fuel shut-off valve.

Operating Automatic Idle Control

This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel economy. When this switch is turned ON, the engine will only

run at its normal high governed engine speed when an electrical load is connected.When an electrical load is

removed, the enginewill run at a reduced speed. With the switch off, the engine will run at the normal high engine speed. Always have the switch off when starting and

stopping the engine.

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.

To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:

•Check fluid level in all battery cells.If necessary,add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery cells. Do Not use tap water.

•If the battery isequipped with vent caps,make sure they are installedand are tight.

•If necessary,clean battery terminals.

•Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel receptacle identifiedby the words "12-VOLTS D.C".

•Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 8).

_	ARNING!		Storage batteries give off explosive
	hydrogen gas while recharging.An explosive mixture
	will remain around the battery for a long time after
	it has been charged.The slightest spark can ignite
	the hydrogen and causean explosion, resulting in
	blindness or other serious injury.
_hl	WARNING!		Do Not permit smoking,open
	flame, sparks or any other source of heat around a

battery.Wear protective goggles,rubber apron and rubber gloves when working around a battery.

Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. If

spill occurs flush area with clear water immediately.

•Connect battery chargecable clamp with black handle to the negative (-) battery terminal (Figure 8).

•Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges.

•When battery has charged,shut down engine

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