Makita G1200R instruction manual DC application For charging 12V battery only

o Grounding the generator

-To ground the generator to the earth, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the gounding spike driven into the earth or to the conductor which has been already grounded to the earth.

- If such grounding conductor or grounding electrode is unavailable, connect the grounding lug of the generator to the grounding terminal of the using

		electric tool or appliance.
		CAUTION
		Generator must be grounded when the electrical
		appliance is grounded.
		Failure to ground generator may lead to electric
		shock.

0Battery charging procedures :

-Make the proper connection as mentioned above, be careful not to make a wrong connection. Be sure to disconnect all cables connected from battery to any other appliance.

-Remove all plugs from top of battery.

-Check electrolyte level and add distilled water if necessary, to bring the electrolyte level to the level marked "UPPER".

-Start engine to charge battery.

The charging time varies depending on the condition of

- .

discharge. The specific gravity of a battery electrolyte indicates the state of charge in each battery cell. While charging battery, check the specific gravity with a hydrometer, using a thermometer to correct hydrometer reading for temperature. A corrected specific gravity reading of 1.26 to 1.28 in all cells indicates a fully charged battery.

Example : In case of 12V-40Ah automobile battery, it takes 5 to 6 hours to bring a completely discharged battery to a state of full-charge.
