Charging 

The battery is rated at 28AH(ampere-hour). 10% of the ampere-hour rating should be 

used as the charging current. A battery charger should be used that can be adjusted 

to deliver 1.4 amps. 

 

 

       

The battery gives off expiosive hydrogen gas during normal operation. 

       

A spark or open flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to 

kill or seriously hurt you. 

Keep sparks and flames away. Wear protective clothing and a face shield, or 

    have a skilled mechanic do battery maintenance. 

 

1) Remove the battery cell caps. 

2) Connect the battery charger following the manufacturer’s instructions. 

3) Charge the battery 3-4 hours. 

4) After the battery is charged, inspect the electrolyte level in each of the cells. 

    Add distilled water as necessaery. 

5) Install the battery caps. 

6) Clean the outside of the battery and the battery tray with a solution of baking soda 

    and water. 

       

Installation 

      1) Install the battery in the generator. 

      2) Install the po) cable to the battery po) terminal, then install the 

          Negative(-) cable to the battery negative(-) terminal. 

      3) Install the battery set plate.
