1.2.2 BATTERY CONNECTION (IF EQUIPPED)

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 a Battery section). RUNNING THE
GENERATOR WILL CHARGE THE BATTERY.

disconnected. You will need two 8mm wrenches to secure the
battery cables.
