Figure 8. Battery

When servicing of the battery is required, perform the following:

„„A face shield and rubber gloves should be worn while handling and servicing the battery's electrolyte.

„„Disconnect battery terminal clamps, and remove the battery from the generator cabinet when servicing is required.

„„DO NOT overfill the battery.

WARNING

Electrolyte is an acid and must be handled with caution. ALWAYS follow servicing instructions from the electrolyte manufacturer to ensure safety. Serious

injury can result from careless handling and noncompliance to safety handling instructions.

Overfilling the battery may cause the electrolyte to overflow resulting in corrosion to nearby components. Immediately wash off any spilled electrolyte (battery acid).

WARNING

When connecting the positive (+) cable to the battery's positive (+) terminal post, DO NOT allow the wrench or any metallic part to come in contact with the battery's

negative (-) terminal post.This may result in an electrical short circuit or an explosion. Always connect positive

(+)end first then negative (-) end. Always disconnect (-) end first then positve (+) end.
