BATTERY CHECK

WARNING

The operator must wear the appropriate protective equipment and clothing while handling the battery.

Failure to wear protective equipment or clothing could result in serious injury.

The 12-volt DC battery (Figure 8) is shipped dry and will require a proper electrolyte level for operation.

Figure 8. Battery

When servicing of the battery is required, perform the following:

A face shield and rubber gloves should be worn while handling and servicing the battery's electrolyte.

Disconnect battery terminal clamps, and remove the battery from the generator cabinet when servicing is required.

DO NOT overﬁll the battery.

WARNING

Electrolyte is an acid and must be handled with caution. ALWAYS follow servicing instructions from the electrolyte manufacturer to ensure safety. Serious

injury can result from careless handling and noncompliance to safety handling instructions.

Overﬁ lling the battery may cause the electrolyte to overﬂow resulting in corrosion to nearby components. Immediately wash off any spilled electrolyte (battery acid).
