•Move run/stop switch to "Stop."

•Close the fuel shut-off valve.

Operating Automatic Idle Control

This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel economy. When this switch is turned ON, the engine will only

run at its normal high governed engine speed when an electrical load is connected.When an electrical load is

removed, the enginewill run at a reduced speed. With the switch off, the engine will run at the normal high engine speed. Always have the switch off when starting and

stopping the engine.

To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:

•Check fluid level in atl battery cells. If necessary,add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery cells. Do Not use tap water.

•If the battery isequipped 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 D.C"

•Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 6).

_ ARNING! 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 causean explosion, resulting in blindness or other serious injury.

_ WARNING!flame, sparks or DoanyNototherpermitsourcesmoking,openof heat around a battery.Wear protective goggles,rubber apron and rubber gloves when working around a battery.

Battery electrolyte fluid isan extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. If

spill occurs flush area with clear water immediately.

•Connect battery chargecable clamp with black handle to the negative (-) battery terminal (Figure 6).

•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'sinstructionscarefully. Generally,a battery is considered to be at 100%state of charge when specific gravity of itsfluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260or higher.
