OPERATION

STOPPING THE ENGINE

,Unplug all electrical loads from the generator panel receptacles, Never start or stop the engine with elec_ trical devices plugged in and turned one

°Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabi- lize the internal temperatures of engine and generator°

,,Set the Engine Run\Stop Switch to STOP Wait for engine to come to a complete stop (Fig 7)

°Close the Fuel Shutoff Valve (Fig 5),

BATTERY SAFETY

,_ EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS

CAUTION: Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas while charging. An exploslve mix- ture will remain around the battery for a long time after It has been charged° The slightest spark can Ignite the gas and cause an explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the battery and cause blind- ness or other serious injury.

,i_ CAUTION: DO NOT permit smoking, open flame, sparks or any source of heat around a battery. DO

NOT use any lighter or other flame to provide lighting for checking battery fluid levels. Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and rubber gloves when working around a battery.

CAUSTIC SULFURIC ACID

CAUTION: Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe

burns.. DO NOT permit fluid contact with eyes, skin clothing,, etc. If spillage occurs,flush with clear water immediately.

CHARGING A BATTERY

Your generator has the capability of recharging a dis- charged, 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 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 posts or terminals

°Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel

receptacle (Fig 9) identified by the words "12-VOLT DC"

,,Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to battery post or terminal indicated by a POSITIVE, POS

or (+)

-Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to battery post or terminal indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG, or (--)

-Start engine (see "Starting the Engine" on Page 5) Let the engine run while battery recharges

,,When battery has charged, shut down engine (see "Stopping the Engine" on this page)

NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state of charge and condition Follow the hydrometer manulac- turer'sinstructions carefully Generally, a battery is consid-

"12 VOLT D.C.

PROTECTIVE DEVICES

LOW OIL PRESSL1RE SHUTDOWN

A Low Oil Pressure Shutdown switch (Fig t0) on the engine monitors low oil pressure The switch is normally ciosed (NC), and is held open by engine oil pressure during startup and operation Should engine oil pressure drop below a safe value during operation, an automatic shutdown occurs This feature protects the engine against

damaging low oil pressure conditions and possible engine failure

\

FIG_ I0

If the engine shuts down unexpectedly, check engine oil level before attempting a restart,

CAUTION!; DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE AN ENGINE WITH LOW OIL PRESSURE BY UNPLUG-

GING THE LEAD FROM THE LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH OR BY BYPASSING THE SWITCH IN ANY

MANNER.. OPERATING WITH LOW OIL PRES- SURE COULD DAMAGE THE ENGINE OR CAUSE

FAILURE.
