DC Usage
CAUTION: The DC receptacle is for charging 12 Volt 8.3A batteries ONLY. Do not connect any
other device to this receptacle.
CAUTION: Only charge batteries when they are removed from the automobile. Never try to
“jumpstart” a car using the generator.
To connect 12 Volt batteries to the DC receptacle:
1. Connect the positive end of charging wire to the positive terminal on the battery.
2. Connect the other end of charging wire to the negative terminal on the battery.
3. Start the generator.
4. Carefully connect the plug of charging wire to V shape DC receptacle on the generator.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
To stop the generator:
1. Turn off, then unplug all connected electrical devices.
2. Allow the generator to run for several more minutes with no electrical devices connected. This
helps stabilize the temperature of the generator.
3. Set the engine switch to the “off” position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to t he “off” position.
WARNING: Allow the generator to cool for several minutes before touching areas that
become hot during use.
CAUTION: Allowing gas to sit in the generator tank for long periods of time without use can
make it difficult to start the gen erator in the future. Never store generator for extended periods
of time with fuel in the tank.
