24 Automatic Standby Generator Owner’s Manual
Lead-acid batteries present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. Strictly observe the following pre-
cautions:
• DO NOT smoke when near the battery.
• DO NOT cause flame or spark in the battery area.
• Discharge static electricity from the body before touching the battery by first touching a grounded metal surface.
Be sure the utility power supply is turned off and the 7.5 Amp ATO® fuse is removed from the generator Control
Panel, or sparking may occur at the battery posts as the cables are attached and cause an explosion.
• DO NOT cause flame or spark in the battery area.
• Discharge static electricity from the body before touching the battery by first touching a grounded metal surface.
The battery should be regularly inspected per the Service Schedule:
1. With the generator shut down and battery charger power removed, remove the top lid, front panel and battery access panel.
Figure 4-7: Battery Installation
2. Remove the battery bracket and carefully tilt and pull the battery through the battery access window. The battery wires, terminals and other
battery service locations are easily accessible in this position.
3. Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness and corrosion. Remove and clean as necessary using a wire brush on the battery termi-
nals and cable ends. Install and tighten connections securely.
