BatterY
This unit is of negative ground
DO NOT
connect in reverse.
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid 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 type used in this
generator is BCI Group 27.
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity
of the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific 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.
Figure 34. Battery Connections
caution
alWaYs
disconnect the negative terminal
first
and
reconnect negative terminal
last
.
POSITIVE
NEGATIVE
When connecting battery do the following:
1.
never
connect the battery cables to the battery
terminals when the
Auto-Off/Reset-Manual itch
is in
either the
AUTO
or
manual
position.
alWaYs
make
sure that this itch is in the
off/reset
position when
connecting the battery.
2. Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment
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.
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.
caution
Inadequate battery connections may cause poor
starting of the generator, and create other malfunctions.
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.
