BATTERY INSTALLATION
Recommended Battery
Lead-acid battery: A capacity of 12 V – 32 A
For the generators used in low temperature (below –5°C), 12 V – 40 A
larger battery is recommended.
1. Attach terminals to a lead-acid battery already charged. Mount the battery onto the position as
specified below, with its terminals facing inward.
2. Insert each long bolt through the specified hole, its tip pointing outward.
3. Put the supporting arm on the long bolts and tighten with the butterfly nuts. (Push the lead-acid
battery all the way inward.)
4. Arrange the wiring so that it won't be damaged by possible vibration caused by the engine.
5. Only after checking that the engine's starter key is in the "STOP" position, securely connect the
cable with a red stripe, to the positive (+) terminal. And then connect the other cable to the
negative (-) terminal.
Red cable: to the positive (+) terminal
Black cable: to the negative (–) terminal
CAUTION:
Should the connection be made in incorrect manner, the engine will be broken.
The battery shall be handled in the well ventilated area avoiding fire or flammable
material.
Special attention shall be paid to the battery fluid not stuck to the eye or skin.
The temperature of the battery fluid shall be maintained to 45°C or less, because of
prevention for functional deterioration.
Be sure the battery is installed on the battery base securely.
NOTE:
The battery base is assembled into the frame at the factory.
