•Start generator. Let the engine run while battery recharges.
•When battery has charged, shut down engine (see “Stopping The Engine”)
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.
CONNECTOR PLUGS
CAUTION! Although each receptacle is rated for 120 Volts at 15 Amps (1,440 watts or 1.44 kW), the generator is rated for a total of 1,000 watts. Powering loads that exceed the wattage capacity of the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries. The total of loads powered through these receptacles should not exceed 7.5 Amps.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only high quality,
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use them. Such cords should be rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater) for most electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not require this type of extension cord. Check the owner’s manuals of those devices for their recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires.
