10000EXL Extended Life Generator
• Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges. | RECEPTACLES |

• 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.
How to Use the Battery Charger
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery charged and ready for use. Battery charging should be done in a dry location, such as inside a garage.
•Plug the charger into the unit’s “Battery Float Charger” jack, which is located on the starter switch (Figure 10). Plug battery charger into a 120 Volt AC wall receptacle.

Use this receptacle to operate 240 Volt AC, 50 Amp, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 10,000 watts (10.0 kW) of power.The outlet is protected by a 45 Amp
CAUTION! Although this outlet states it has a 240 Volt 50 Amp rating (up to 12,500 watts), the generator is only rated for 10,000 watts. Powering loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries. 240 Volt loads powered through this outlet should not exceed 41.7 Amps of current draw.
