QUIETPACT™ 75D Recreational Vehicle Generator

◆2.7.4 BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Install the generator battery in its own, vented com- partment. Place the battery compartment away from any source of heat, sparks, or flame.

Provide ventilation openings in the battery compart- ment. The minimum size of openings should be 2 square inches at the top of the compartment. Mount the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure, where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause damage.

•If the electrolyte contacts the eyes, immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water, and seek med- ical attention.

•Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid-neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicar- bonate 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.

DANGER

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery is capable of exploding. Storage batter- ies give off explosive hydrogen gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture around the bat- tery for several hours after charging. The slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the battery and cause blindness or other injury. Any area that houses a storage battery must be properly ventilated. Do not allow smoking, open flame, sparks, or any spark-producing tool or equipment near the battery. Discharge static electricity from body before touching the bat- tery by first touching a grounded metal surface.

A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and 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 and boots;

•Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery;

•Disconnect any charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals; and

•Do not use any jumper cables or booster battery to crank and start the generator engine. If any battery has discharged, remove it for recharging.

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released

!electrolyte is known to be harmful to the skin and eyes, and to be toxic.

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.

2.8OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

A plug-in connector (Figure 2.20) is provided on the generator set, below the control panel. Use this to connect an optional remote-mounted start/stop panel to the generator. Installation of such a panel will per- mits starting and stopping the generator engine from any convenient location inside the vehicle.

ELECTRICAL ACCESS PANEL

◆2.8.1 REMOTE START/STOP CONNECTIONS

The following steps are necessary to connect the remote start/stop option:

1.If the six-wire remote connector is visible below the control panel, as shown in Figure 2.20, skip to step 5. Otherwise, proceed with step 2.

2.Remove the electrical access panel located just below the knock-out labeled “REMOTE.” The remote connector will be located inside the elec- trical enclosure, along the right side.

3.Remove the “REMOTE” knock-out, taking care not to damage the wiring behind it.

4.Feed the remote connector through the hole, and fit the supplied grommet into position.

5.Wire the remote harness (Part # 0D2021C, sup- plied as an accessory with the generator) to the vehicle’s remote start panel. Refer to Figure 2.20 for a wiring legend.

6.Plug the remote harness into the mating remote connector on the generator.
