DCA-150SSJU — PRE-SETUP
Battery Cable Installation
ALWAYS
be sure the battery cables (Figure 41) are properly
connected to the battery terminals as shown below. The
RED
cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery,
and the
BLACK
cable is connected to the negative terminal
of the battery.
Before connecting battery do the following:
1a.
DO NOT
connect the battery cables to the battery
terminals when the
Off/Manual/Auto
switch is in either
the manual or auto position (ON) if the generator is
installed with a microprocessor engine controller.
ALWAYS
make sure that the Off/Manual/Auto switch is
in the “OFF” position when connecting the battery.
1b. If the generator is equipped with an ignition switch, make
sure turned to the “OFF” position and the key is removed
from the switch.
2. Place a small amount of grease around both battery
terminals. This will ensure a good connection and will
help prevent corrosion around the battery terminals.

CAUTION
CAUTION
:
Inadequate battery connections may cause
poor starting of the generator, and create
other malfunctions.
Wiring
Inspect the entire generator for bad or worn electrical wiring
or connections. If any wiring or connections are exposed
(insulation missing) replace wiring immediately.
Piping and Hose Connection
Inspect all piping, oil hose, and fuel hose connections for
wear and tightness. Tighten all hose clamps and check hoses
for leaks.
If any hose (fuel or oil) lines are defective replace them
immediately.
Ether Canister Operation (During Cold Conditions)
To bleed the ether, crank the engine for at least two
revolutions, then momentarily depress the starting aid button
while the engine is cranking. If the engine does not start,
repeat the cranking process using only short bursts of ether
only while the engine is cranking. Stop injecting the fluid
after then engine starts. If the engine begins to die during
the first few minutes of operation, inject another small shot
of ether.
Figure 41. Battery Connections
If the battery cable is connected
incorrectly, electrical damage to the
generator will occur. Pay close attention
to the polarity of the battery when
connecting the battery.
