Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to battery post or terminal indicated by Negative, NEG, or () (Figure 7).

Start generator. Let the engine run while battery recharges.

When battery has charged, shut down engine (see “Stopping The Engine”)

NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.

CONNECTOR PLUGS

120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacle

Each outlet socket is protected against overload by a

7.5Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 1,000 watts (1.0 kW) of power (Figure 8).

Figure 8 — 120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Duplex Receptacle

CAUTION! Although each receptacle is rated for 120 Volts at 15 Amps (1,440 watts or 1.44 kW), the generator is rated for a total of 1,000 watts. Powering loads that exceed the wattage capacity of the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries. The total of loads powered through these receptacles should not exceed 7.5 Amps.

12 Volt DC Accessory Jack

This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cable provided. Camping-style air pumps, lanterns, fans, or other 12 Volt devices having a cigarette lighter-type plug may also be powered by this outlet (Figure 9).

Figure 9 — 12 Volt DC Accessory Jack

This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery. See “Charging a Battery” (page 8) before attempting to recharge a battery.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with the generator’s 120 Volt electrical receptacles.

Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use them. Such cords should be rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater) for most electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not require this type of extension cord. Check the owner’s manuals of those devices for their recommendations.

Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires.
