2.1.1 BATTERY CONNECTION
NOTE:
The battery shipped with the generator has been fully charged.
A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for
prolonged periods of time. If the battery is unable to crank
the engine, plug in the 12V charger included in the accessory
box (see the Charging the Battery section). RUNNING THE
GENERATOR DOES NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY.
The positive battery wire was deliberately left detached for
shipping. To operate the unit, attach this wire to the terminal on
the starter motor as shown. Do not overtighten. Slide the attached
rubber boot over the starter terminal. See Figure 4.

2.2 HOURMETER
The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled maintenance
(see chart) (Figure 5).
Operation: Push and release the reset button to toggle between
screens. The hours count backwards from the set interval as
shown in the chart.
When the meter reaches 5 hours,the text "CHG OIL" (or "SVC AIR
FILTER" or "CHG PLUG") will flash continually for two minutes.
After this time, the meter will go back to displaying the total hours
of the unit (for 2 minutes). This cyle will repeat for the entire 5
hours.
When the service interval reaches zero hours, the text "NOW"
replaces the hours remaining.
For a new generator for instance, the message will say "CHG OIL"
then flash "in 30". This means that in 30 hours, the oil will need to
be changed. Pressing the button a few more times will bring the
meter back to the screen that shows the total hours run.
Reset: Toggle to the alert that you wish to reset then hold the
button down for 9 seconds. The maintenance hours are reset when
the display shows "0000.0".
Note:
The hour glass graphic will flash on and off when the engine
is running. This signifies that the meter is tracking hours of
operation.

2.3 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS
2.3.1 230 VAC 16A, CEE 7/4, TYPE F RECEPTACLE
This is a 230 Volt outlet (Figure 6) protected against overload by
a 16 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each socket to power
230 Volt AC, single phase, 50 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a
combined 3680 watts (3.7 kW) or 16 Amps of current. Use only
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
230 Volts at 16 Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than
5 meters long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating
of wires.
