BATTERY INSTALLATION

Minimum recommended battery size is a BCI Group 26 with a minimum of 550 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). Place the battery in the battery rack as shown and secure using the holddown hardware provided.

Once the battery has been placed and tied down with the battery hold down bar, connect the leads to the respective battery post. Always connect the (red) positive cable first and the negative (black) cable last. When disconnecting remove negative cable first and then positive lead last.

Note: The battery charger will automatically charge

the battery to keep a full charge. This charger is connected to your normal electrical supply to keep your battery charged while the generator is idle.

The charger is not intended to recharge a battery which has become completely discharged.

When replacing batteries, use the same number and the following type batteries: BCI Group 26 vented battery.

The nominal voltage rating of the battery supply is 12 volts.

BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Servicing of batteries are to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

WARNING

Lead-acid batteries present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. The following procedures are to be followed:

Do not smoke when near batteries.

Do not cause flame or spark in battery area.

Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The battery is capable of exploding.

Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte has been known to be harmful to the skin and eyes and to be toxic.

WARNING

The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive. The following procedures are to be observed.

Wear full eye protection and protective clothing.

Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off immediately with water.

Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water and seek medical attention.

Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with and acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of one pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to one gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.

CAUTION

A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and a high short circuit current. The following precautions are to be observed when working on batteries:

Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.

Use tools with insulated handles.

Wear rubber gloves.

Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. When inadvertently grounded, remove source of ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery is capable of resulting in electrical shock. The risk of such shock is reduced when such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

Failure to connect and disconnect in the proper sequence can cause equipment damage. Ensure there is a clean tight fit from the cables to the post.
