COLD WEATHER OPERATION

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. In an emergency, use the original shipping box as a temporary shelter:

•Cut off all flaps and one of the long sides of the box to expose exhaust side of unit. Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.

•Start unit, then place box over it. Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open side of box and nearest object.

IMPORTANT: Remove shelter when temperature is above 40°F [4°C].

For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top of the generator. Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed, with two feet clearance between open side of box and nearest object. Face exposed end away from wind and elements.

Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. If spill occurs, flush area with clear water immediately.

Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery. Do Not use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries. Do Not use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery.

To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:

•Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in

battery cells. Do Not use tap water.

•If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are installed and are tight.

•If necessary, clean battery terminals.

•Connect battery charge cable connector plug to

panel receptacle identified by the words "12-VOLTS DC"

•Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive (+) battery terminal.

CHARGING A BATTERY

DANGER! Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will remain around the battery for a long time after it has been charged. The slightest spark can ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the battery and cause blindness or other serious injury.

•Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to the negative (-) battery terminal.

•Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges.

•When battery has charged, shut down 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.
