maintenance

battery (ga6HEB)

This unit is of negative ground DO NOT connect in reverse. Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid levels are not properly maintained. Add only distilled water when replenishment is necessary.

Check to see whether the battery cables are loose. Poor contact may result in poor starting or malfunctions. Always keep the terminals firmly tightened. Coating the terminals with an approved battery terminal treatment compound will help prevent corrosion. Replace battery with only recommended type battery.

The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific gravity should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is dead and needs to be recharged or replaced.

Before charging the battery with an external electric source, be sure to disconnect the battery cables.

Battery Cable Installation

NOTICE

Inadequate battery cable connections may cause poor starting of the generator, and create other malfunctions..

ALWAYS be sure the battery cables are properly connected to the battery terminals (Figure 30). The red cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and the black cable is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

Figure 34. Battery Connections

NOTICE

ALWAYS disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect negative terminal last.

When connecting battery do the following:

1.NEVER use worn or damaged battery cables. Replace defective battery cables immediately.

2.Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment compound around both battery terminals. This will ensure a good connection and will help prevent corrosion around the battery terminals.

NOTICE

If the battery cables are connected incorrectly, electrical damage to the generator will occur. Pay close attention to the polarity markings on the battery when connecting the battery cables.

Polarity

The polarity of the battery is extremely important. When an inverted circuit connection takes place, the circuit will be in short circuit instantaneously resulting in possible damage to the control box electronics and starter.

When connecting the battery cables to the battery terminals be sure to check the polarity.

testing the GFCI Module

If tripping of the main circuit breaker persists after a load is replaced with a known good one (no short circuit), perform this test with no load.

1.Start the generator as outlined in the start up procedure in this manual.

2.Place the main circuit breaker (Figure 35) in the ON

position.
