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 engine wilt 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.

Battery Safety

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 is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are installed and are tight.

•If necessary, clean battery terminals.

•Connect battery charge cable connector plug to

panel receptacle identified by the words "12-VOLTS D.C.".

•Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 7).

A DANGER: 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 cause an explosion, which can shatter the battery and cause blindness or other injury.

,_ll DANGER: 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 bums. If spill occurs flush area with clear water immediately.

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

12 VOLT D.C.

POSNEG

•Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to the negative (-)battery terminal, (Figure 7).

•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'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.
