10000EXL Extended Life Generator
• Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges.
• When battery has charged, shut down engine
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery
state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific
gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or
higher.
How to Use the Battery Charger
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery
charged and ready for use. Battery charging should be done
in a dry location, such as inside a garage.
• Plug the charger into the unit’s “Battery Float Charger”
jack, which is located on the starter switch (Figure 10).
Plug battery charger into a 120Volt AC wall receptacle.
• Unplug the charger from the unit and the wall outlet when
generator is being started and while it is in operation.
• Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in
use to prolong battery life.The charger has a built in float
equalizer and will not overcharge the battery, even when
plugged in for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: See “Battery Maintenance” on page 13 for
additional information.
RECEPTACLES
240 Volt AC, 50 Amp Receptacle
Use a NEMA 14–50 plug with this receptacle (Figure 11).
Connect a 4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at
50 Amps to the plug.
Use this receptacle to operate 240 Volt AC, 50 Amp, 60 Hz,
single phase loads requiring up to 10,000 watts (10.0 kW)
of power.The outlet is protected by a 45 Amp
push–to–reset circuit breaker.
CAUTION! Although this outlet states it has a
240Volt 50 Amp rating (up to 12,500 watts), the
generator is only rated for 10,000 watts. Powering
loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of
the generator can damage it or cause serious
injuries. 240 Volt loads powered through this outlet
should not exceed 41.7 Amps of current draw.
