WARNING - BATTERY HAZARDS

BATTERIES:

ALWAYS use eye protection. Caustic acid and explosive gases can cause blindness or severe burns. NO smoking, sparks, or flames.

NEVER touch both battery terminals at the same time with your hand or any non-insulated tools. FLUSH immediately with water if battery acid contacts eyes, skin, or clothing.

CONNECT cables in correct sequence: FIRST RED to POSITIVE terminal, then BLACK to NEGATIVE terminal. When disconnecting, DISCONNECT BLACK cable first, then RED.

NEVER charge a visibly damaged or frozen battery. ALWAYS read and follow charger instructions.

ATTENTION

IF GENERATOR IS TO BE STORED LONGER THAN 2 MONTHS, charge battery with a trickle charger that is rated for 3 amps maximum. A charged battery ensures reliable engine starting.
