PORTABLE GASOLINE GENERATORS
®
IMPORTANT:
Make sure battery connec-
tions are the correct polarity. Electric start
generators use negative ground, 12-volt DC
starting system.
Models RGH5500AIE, RGH7500AIE, and
RGH11000AIE have an electric starter. A
battery is not supplied with generator. You
must provide a 12-volt, 32-amp-hour bat-
tery. The positive and negative battery cables
are supplied with generator. You must in-
stall 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.

WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Battery contains
sulfuric acid. Contact with skin or
eyes may cause severe burns. Do
not tilt generator with battery in-
stalled. Tilting could cause battery
acid to spill. Wear protective cloth-
ing and face shield when servic-
ing. 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 min-
utes. 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.
CAUTION: If you remove bat-
tery, insulate the red, positive (+)
battery cable terminal. Insulate with
electrical tape. Exposed terminal
may spark when generator runs.
Always shut down engine before removing
or attaching battery cables. Always remove
the negative (–) cable first. Always attach
negative (–) cable last.
INSTALLING BATTERY
CABLES TO ENGINE
1. Attach the red, positive (+) battery
cable to the starter solenoid on engine
(see Figure 10). The starter solenoid is
located directly above the starter on
Model RGH11000AIE. This cable is
factory installed.
2. Attach the black, negative (–) battery cable
to the engine block. Use the bolt, nut, and
two washers provided with the battery
cables. Use long mounting hole on oppo-
site side of engine from starter solenoid.
Attach cable as shown in Figure 11.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten
positive terminal on starter sole-
noid. Positive terminal could ro-
tate and cut into negative termi-
nal, causing a short.
