This generator can be optionally equipped with a single
120 VAC, 15 amp input receptacle (Figure 43) located on
the output terminal panel.
The purpose of this receptacle is to provide power via
commercial power to the jacket water heater and internal
battery charger (Figure 44).
The receptacle will  function when commercial power
has been supplied to it. To apply commercial power to the
receptacle, a power cord of adequate size will be required
(See Table 7).
When using the generator in hot climates there is no
reason to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if
the generator will be used in  climates it is always a
good idea to apply power to the jacket water heater at all
times. To apply power to the jacket water heater simply
apply power to the jacket water heater receptacle via
commercial power using an power cord of adequate size.

If the generator will be used daily, the battery should
normally not require charging. If the generator will be idle
(not used) for long periods of time, apply power to the
battery charger receptacle via commercial power using a
power cord of adequate size.
