SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHILE CHARGING
An explosive hydrogen gas is discharged through vent holes in the battery dur-
ing the charging process. Do not allow spark or open flame around the genera-
tor or battery during the charging process.
Electrolyte fluid can burn eyes and clothing. Be extremely careful to avoid con-
tact. If injured, wash the affected area immediately with large quantities of
water and consult a doctor for treatment.
When charging a large capacity battery or totally discharged battery, excessive
current may force the DC breaker to turn off.
In such cases, use a battery charger to charge a large battery with AC output.
Battery defects may cause the DC breaker to turn off.
Check the battery before replacing the DC breaker.
