Start the generator
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is connected and

An overloaded DC circuit, excessive current draw by the battery, or a
wiring problem will trip the DC circuit fuse. If this happens, The fuse must
be replaced before the DC receptacle is operative. Replace the fuse with
one of the same size and rating (5 amp). Exceeding the current rating may
lead to alternator damage. If the DC circuit protector fuse continues to trip,
discontinue charging and see your authorized POLARIS generator
supplier.
The circuit protector does not prevent
overcharging the battery. Over charging
the battery may result in battery damage
and potential ignite if a spark is
introduced.
