Battery
The generator set requires a 12V battery (negatively grounded) for engine cranking
and powering the electronic control system. When the generator set is running, the
battery is charged from the engine-driven battery alternator. When the set is not
running, an AC powered battery charger is needed to keep the battery charged.
CAUTION
Ensure that the AC power to the battery charger is disconnected when
installing the battery.
CAUTION
Wear proper safety protection when working around batteries. Keep open
flames and sparks away from the equipment.
NOTICE
Only personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required precautions should
perform or supervise battery servicing. Keep unauthorized personnel away
from batteries.
To connect the battery:
1. Connect the positive battery terminal.
2. Connect the negative battery terminal.
3. Make sure that the battery is secured to the battery tray with the strap provided.
4. Make sure that the black and red battery cable boots are in place.
