Your generator’s engine charging system charges the battery while
the engine is running. However, if the generator is only used
periodically, the battery must be charged monthly to maintain the
battery service life.
The battery contains sulfuric acid
(electrolyte), which is highly
corrosive and poisonous. Getting
electrolyte in your eyes or on your
skin can cause serious burns.
Wear protective clothing and eye
protection when working near the
battery.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE
BATTERY.
Flush with water from a cup or other container for at least
fifteen minutes. (Water under pressure can damage the eye.)
Immediately call 911 (USA only) or a physician.
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush the skin with large
quantities of water. Call a physician immediately.
Drink water or milk. Call your local Poison Control
Center (USA only) or a physician immediately.
