NOTE
• Do NOT connect the battery charging cable to AC power socket on
the generator panel. Because AC output voltage is very high, and
operators will be in danger of electrical shock hazard.
• The 12V DC power socket should only be used for charging 12V
lead-acid batteries.
• When using the 12V DC output, turn the ECO switch to the “OFF”
position.
• Never reverse the polarity when connecting the battery terminals to
the charging jack. Severe damage may occur to the generator and
battery.
• Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is con-
nected and the generator is running. The vehicle or the generator
may be damaged.
• An overloaded DC circuit or a wiring problem will trip the DC circuit
breaker (fig. g 6, page 25).
(Push button extends out)
• If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing in the DC circuit
breaker (fig. g 6, page 25) to resume operation.
If the DC Circuit Breaker (fig. g 6, page 25) continues to go off, dis-
continue charging and contact your authorized generator dealer.
