BATTERY
This unit is of negative ground
DO NOT
connect in reverse.
Always maintain battery fl uid level between the specifi ed
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fl uid level are
not properly maintained. Add only distilled water when
replenishment is necessary.
DO NOT
over fill. Check to see whether the battery
cables are loose. Poor contact may result in poor starting
or malfunctions.
Always
keep the terminals firmly
tightened. Coating the terminals with an approved battery
terminal treatment compound. Replace battery with only
recommended type battery. The battery is suffi ciently
charged if the specifi c gravity of the battery fl uid is 1.28
(at 68° F). If the specifi c gravity should fall to 1.245 or
lower, it indicates that the battery is dead and needs to be
recharged or replaced.
Before charging the battery with an external electric source,
be sure to disconnect the battery cables.
Battery Cable Installation
ALWAYS be sure the battery cables (Figure 34) 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.

position
when connecting the battery.
Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment
2.
compound around both battery terminals. This will
ensure a good connection and will help prevent
corrosion around the battery terminals.
ALTERNATOR
The polarity of the alternator is negative grounding type.
When an inverted circuit connection takes place, the
circuit will be in short circuit instantaneously resulting the
alternator failure.
DO NOT
put water directly on the alternator. Entry of water
into the alternator can cause corrosion and damage the
alternator.

) lines are defective replace them
immediately.
NOTICE
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.
CAUTION
Inadequate battery connections may cause poor starting
of the generator, and create other malfunctions.
