POWERING 12V DC DEVICES
This generator can be used to power 12V DC devices through the DC receptacle on the control
panel while the generator is running. The DC output comes directly from the battery, so power-
ing a DC device places a load on the battery. The DC device should require no more than 12V or
draw more than 10A (which is the size of the DC breaker). The voltage regulator recharging the
internal battery is designed for a maximum charge amperage of 11-12A, so as long as the gener-
ator is running the internal battery should not be drained.
• The generator does not have to be running to power a DC device, but if the
generator is not running the battery will be drained, and you may have to
recharge the battery before you can start the generator again.
Back-charging the generator battery
This generator battery can be back-charged
through the DC receptacle by the included
battery trickle charger). The generator does
not have to be running to back-charge the
battery, and there are no special
considerations for switches to be on or off
for the battery to charge, though if the
generator is not running, the remote switch
should be in the “OFF” position.
• The ECU and fuel pump
require the battery to
retain some charge, or
the generator can’t be
started, even by recoil.
It may be necessary to
charge the battery
before the generator
can be started at all.
• Connect the polarized
connector of the
battery charger to the
DC receptacle.
• Charge the battery for 3 hours. If you are using the included Plug-In Trickle
Charger, charge the battery until the status indicator goes from red to green.
