2.12CHARGINGTHEBATTERY(ELECTRICSTART
UNITSONLY)
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will
remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
,_Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks
or any other source of heat around a battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and
rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely
corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns, if spill occurs flush area with
clear water immediately.
Thebattery shipped withthe generatorhasbeen fully charged.
A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for
prolongedperiodsof time. If the battery is unable to crank the
engine, plugin the 12V chargerincludedin the accessory box
(see section"Chargingthe Battery"). RUNNINGTHEGENERATOR
