Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely corro-
sive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe
burns. Do not permit fluid to contact eyes, skin,
clothing, painted surfaces, etc. Wear protective
goggles, protective clothing and gloves when
handling a battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the
affected area immediately with clear water.

Do not use any jumper cables or booster battery
to crank and start the generator engine. If the
battery has completely discharged, remove it
from the generator for recharging.

Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to
the OFF position, before connecting the battery
cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL,
the generator can crank and start as soon as the
battery cables are connected.

Be sure the 120VAC power supply to the battery
is turned OFF, or sparking may occur at the bat-
tery posts as the cables are attached and cause
an explosion.
