OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: For additional references to the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the
Assembly Diagram on page 19.
To Install A Battery:
1. NOTE: The Generator requires the installation of a 12 volt battery (not included).
The battery must be no larger than 5” wide x 7-3/4” long x 8-1/2” high.
2. WARNING! Battery fluid leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature
conditions. If battery fluid comes in contact with skin, wash with soap and water and
rinse with lemon juice and vinegar. If the fluid comes into contact with the eyes,
flush with water for several minutes and contact a doctor immediately. Never burn a
battery, as it can explode in a fire. Do not use the Generator with a leaking battery.
Contact local solid waste authorities for instructions on correct disposal or recycling
of a battery.
3. Carefully place a fully charged, 12 volt battery in the Battery Holder located at the
base of the Generator.
4. The Engine has two power cables that must be connected to the battery. Connect
the cable with the RED (+ POSITIVE) terminal to the (+ POSITIVE) terminal on the
battery. Connect the cable with the BLACK (- NEGATIVE) terminal to the
(- NEGATIVE) terminal on the battery. (See Figure C.)
5. Insert the bottom, “L” shaped portion of one Battery Support Stud (39) in each end of
the Battery Holder. Then, insert the Battery Holding Plate (40) onto the two Battery
Support Studs and allow the Battery Holding Plate to rest on top of the battery. Secure
the battery in place by tightening the two Nuts (49) onto the two Battery Support
Studs. Do not overtighten, as it may damage the battery. (See Figure C.)
