3. Disconnect negative battery cable from negative battery terminal (indicated by NEGATIVE, NEG, or (-)).
4. Charge battery with battery charger at 2 Amps until battery holds 12 Volts. DO NOT exceed 13.7 volts when charging.

Battery

Servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

Servicing the Battery

WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

If it is necessary to service the battery, proceed as follows:

1.Set control board system switch to OFF.

2.Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.

3.Service or replace battery as required. See Battery in Final Installation Considerations in the installation manual for specific battery needed.

NOTICE Failure to disconnect negative battery cable will result in equipment failure.

t DO NOT attempt to jump start the generator.

t Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void engine and generator warranty.

4.Connect red battery cable to battery positive terminal (indicated by POSITIVE, POS, or (+)).

5.Connect black negative battery cable to negative battery terminal (indicated by NEGATIVE, NEG, or (-)).

6.Ensure hardware on both positive and negative battery terminals is secure.

WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during recharging.

Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen

and cause explosion, resulting

in death, serious injury and/or property damage.
