QUICK START
Use outdoors only. Generators produce carbon monoxide
— a poisonous, colorless, odorless gas that can cause death or serious injury.
Always operate on a level surface.
Keep away from rain, snow or other wet conditions.
Keep away from smoking materials, sparks, and other sources of combustion when refueling.
Pre-Operation:
1. Add oil by removing the maintenance panel and inspecting the dipstick. Fill the oil reservoir with 16.9 fl oz.
(500 ml) of oil or to the full mark on the dipstick. Use appropriate grade, high-detergent, premium quality,
4-stroke engine oil (synthetic or conventional). Use SAE 15W-40 viscosity oil unless operating at ambient temperatures below 32° F (0° C). For temperatures below 32° F, use SAE 0W-40 viscosity oil. Synthetic oil
is also recommended for temperatures below 32° F. Refer to the
Operating at extreme temperatures
section for more information.
2. Remove the maintenance door and connect the quick disconnect cable to the battery wiring harness. Refer
3. Replace the maintenance door.
4. Connect an external battery charger (such as the TC2-P Plug-In Trickle Charger, part number 19674) to the
DC receptacle in the “Battery Charger” section of the control panel.
The TC2-P Battery Charger also includes an alligator clip cable that plugs into the T-style male DC connector of the charger, allowing you to connect the clips to the terminals for batteries powering other equipment. For POWERHOUSE
®
generators, for ease of use, it is suggested that you connect the T-style male plug to the DC receptacle on the control panel, rather than attempting to charge the generator battery directly.
5. Charge the battery for 3 hours or until it is fully charged. After the battery is fully charged, disconnect the battery charger.
If you are using the TC2-P Plug-In Trickle Charger, the status indicator will go from red to green when the battery is fully charged.
