BATTERY (MODELS 3WY46, 3WY45,
AND 3WY47 ONLY)
Battery gives off
explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flames, and cigarettes
away. Do not remove or install battery
cables when engine is cranking or
running. Only service or use battery in
a well-vented area.
Battery contains
sulfuric acid.
Contact with skin or eyes may cause
severe burns. Do not tilt generator
with battery installed. Tilting could
cause battery acid to spill. Wear
protective clothing and face shield
when servicing. Keep out of children’s
reach.
• If battery acid gets on your skin,
wash with water.
• If battery acid gets in your eyes,
flush with water at least 15 minutes.
Call a doctor at once.
Battery acid is poisonous.
• If swallowed, drink large amounts of
water or milk. Follow with milk
of magnesia or vegetable oil. Call a
doctor at once.
If you remove
battery, insulate
the red, positive (+) battery cable
terminal. Insulate with electrical tape.
Exposed terminal may spark when
generator runs.
IMPORTANT: Make sure battery connec-
tions are the correct polarity. Electric start
generators use negative ground, 12-volt
DC starting system.
Models 3WY46, 3WY45, and 3WY47 have
an electric starter. A battery is not supplied
with generator. You must provide a 12-
volt, 32-amp-hour battery. The positive
and negative battery cables are supplied
with generator. You must
install these
cables before mounting battery.
Always wear safety glasses when working
with battery. Make sure battery terminals
are clean. Make sure cable connections are
tight.
Always shut down engine before removing
or attaching battery cables. Always remove
the negative (–) cable first. Always attach
negative (–) cable last.

ENGINE
1. Attach the red, positive (+) battery cable to
the starter solenoid on engine (See Figure
13). The starter solenoid is located directly
