(California only) AIR INDEX To show compliance with California emission regulations, a hangtag has been provided displaying the Air Index level and durability period of this engine. The Air Index level defines how clean an engine's exhaust is over a period of time. A bar graph scaled from "0" (most clean) to "10" (least clean) is used to show an engine's Air Index level. A lower Air Index level represents cleaner exhaust from an engine. [. . . ] (2) STOPPING THE ENGINE Turn off the switch of load. Turn the STOP SWITCH to the position "O" (OFF). NOTE : Allow the engine about 3 minutes to cool down at no-load before stopping. 17 (2) DC APPLICATION (Only for charging 12 volt battery) DC receptacle (Only for charging 12 volt battery) BLACK CABLE RED CABLE - + For charging 12 voltage battery, 12V-8. 3A (100W) of maximum AC power can be taken out from the DC receptacle by means of the exclusive DC cable. DC receptacle The exclusive DC cable is come with your generator set (included in the package). DC Circuit Breaker DC circuit breaker is turned off to shut down the DC power, when the DC is over the usage range or the battery is defective. Check the generator and/or battery for overloading or defect, and turn on the DC circuit breaker after no problem and defect are found out. Connection of exclusive DC cable : Connect positive (red) clip of DC cable to positive (+) terminal on battery. Connect negative (black) clip of DC cable to negative (-) terminal on battery. 18 1) Stop engine. 3) Insert the plug of exclusive DC cable into DC receptacle. 4) Connect positive (red) clip of DC cable to positive (+) terminal on battery, and then connect negative (black) clip of DC cable to negative (-) terminal on battery. 5) Take out all plugs at the battery electrolyte fluid filler ports. 6) Check the electrolyte fluid level, and refill the distilled water as necessary. 8) Make sure that the pilot lamp is turned on. 9) Make sure that the DC circuit breaker is in the ON position. 10) Battery charging will be started. CAUTION Do not use both AC and DC output at the same time. Install correct positive (red) or negative (black) cable to the correct polarity on the battery. Connect and disconnect DC cable with engine stopped. An explosive hydrogen gas is discharged through vent holes in the battery during the charging process. Do not allow spark or open flame around the generator or battery during the charging process. Electrolyte fluid contains sulphuric acid, and so the fluid can burn eyes and clothing. If injured, wash the affected area immediately with large quantities of water and consult a doctor for treatment. Charging time is varied according to the kind of battery and discharged level of battery. Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte fluid by means of hydrometer every one hour during battery charging. Make sure if the DC circuit breaker is not turned off. [. . . ] PREPARATION FOR STORAGE The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months or longer. Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line. Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making enginestarting difficult.
