Jacket Water Heater and Internal Battery Charger 120
VAC Input Receptacles (OPTIONAL)
This generator is equipped with two 120 VAC, 20 amp input
receptacles located on the output terminal panel.
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via
commercial power to the
jacket water heater and internal
battery charger.
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial
power has been supplied to them (Figure 73). To apply
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of
adequate size will be required (See Table 6).
When using the generator in hot climates there is no reason
to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if the
generator will be used in
cold climates it is always a good
idea to apply power to the jacket water heater at all times. To
apply power to the jacket water heater simply apply power to
the jacket water heater receptacle via commercial power using
an power cord of adequate size.
DCA-300SSK SERIES — MAINTENANCE
If the generator will be used daily, the battery should normally
not require charging. If the generator will be idle (not used)
for long periods of time, apply power to the battery charger
receptacle via commercial power using an power cord of
adequate size.
To ensure adequate starting
capability, always have power
applied to the generator's
internal battery charger.
