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;

•Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and Immediately with water and seek medical attention; and

•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 bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foam- ing) has ceased. The resulting liquid Is to be flushed with water and the area dried.

&.lead-acid batteries present a risk of fire Lmbecause they generate hydrogen gas. The

following procedures are to be followed:

•DO NOT SMOKE when near the battery;

•DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area; and

•Discharge static electricity from body before touching the battery by first touching a ground- ed metal surface.

ABe sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set

.... to the OFF position before connecting the battery cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL, the generator can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are con- nected.

Four-lead generators are dual voltage coils or windings (Figure

1.5). Units may be assigned any of the following voltage codes:

•"{:>:.' units are rated 120/240 VAG, single-phase, 60 Hertz.

•"M" units are rated 110/220 VAG, single-phase, 50 Hertz. Each stator winding in this case delivers a 110 VAG or 120 VAG output; connecting the two windings series results in a 220 VAG or 240 VAC output.

The neutral line is formed by a junction of stator leads 22 and

33.Therefore, connection of 120 VAG (60 Hertz) or 110 VAC (50 Hertz) loads across leads 11 and neutral, or across leads 44 and neutral can be made.
