Battery Cable Installation

ALWAYS be sure the battery cables (Figure 23) are properly connected to the battery terminals as shown below. The red cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and the black cable is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

CAUTION

ALWAYS disconnect the negative terminal FIRST and reconnect negative terminal LAST.

Figure 23. Battery Connections

When connecting battery do the following:

1.NEVER connect the battery cables to the battery terminals when the Control Power Switch is in the ON position. ALWAYS make sure that the Control Power Switch is in the OFF position when connecting the battery.

2.Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment compound around both battery terminals. This will ensure a good connection and will help prevent corrosion around the battery terminals.

NOTICE

If the battery cable is connected incorrectly, electrical damage to the generator will occur. Pay close attention to the polarity of the battery when connecting the battery.

CAUTION

Inadequate battery connections may cause poor starting of the generator, and create other malfunctions.

Alternator

The polarity of the alternator is negative grounding type. When an inverted circuit connection takes place, the circuit will be in short circuit instantaneously resulting the alternator failure.

DO NOT put water directly on the alternator. Entry of water into the alternator can cause corrosion and damage the alternator.

Wiring

Inspect the entire generator for bad or worn electrical wiring or connections. If any wiring or connections are exposed (insulation missing) replace wiring immediately.

Piping and Hose Connection

Inspect all piping, oil hose, and fuel hose connections for wear and tightness. Tighten all hose clamps and check hoses for leaks.

If any hose (fuel or oil) lines are defective replace them immediately.
