 be sure the battery cables (Figure 23) are
properly connected to the battery terminals as shown below.
The  is connected to the positive terminal of the

Figure 23. Battery Connections
When connecting battery do the following:
1.  connect the battery cables to the battery
terminals when the Control Power Switch is in the
 position.  make sure that the Control
Power Switch is in the OFF position when connecting
the battery.
2. Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment
compound around both battery terminals. This will
ensure a good connection and will help prevent
corrosion around the battery terminals.

NOTICE
If the battery cable is connected incorrectly, electrical
damage to the generator will occur. Pay close attention to
the polarity of the battery when connecting the battery.

Inadequate battery connections may cause poor
starting of the generator, and create other malfunctions.

The polarity of the alternator is negative grounding type.
When an inverted circuit connection takes place, the
circuit will be in short circuit instantaneously resulting the
alternator failure.
 put water directly on the alternator. Entry of water
into the alternator can cause corrosion and damage the
alternator.

Inspect the entire generator for bad or worn electrical wiring
