IF(;
This battery charger supplies a trickle charging current and voltage to maintain
the charge on the generator starting battery inside the generator
enclosure.
The charger will not replenish
a fully discharged
battery. It is intended
to be connected
to a 120VAC generator backed-up
circuit only. If it is not connected
to a generator
backed-up
circuit the battery could go
"dead" while the generator
is running
for extended
periods of time.

WARNING
_"
Z_ This battery charger must be properly installed
and wired for correct operation of all 2008
model line Air-cooled Standby Generators.
Failure to do so will result in a dead battery
condition at the generator.
NOTE:
For authorized service, reference
the dealer Iocator number found
in the generator owner's manual
or on the generator.
This installation
guide should be used in conjunction with the "Installation
and Owner's
Manual"
that
is furnished
with the Air-cooled
Standby
Generator
and the Installation
and appropriate
transfer
switch manual.
Please review all manuals
prior to installation
of the generator
and transfer
switch. This battery charger is not required
with
the Liquid-cooled
Generator
product
line. This
battery
charger
is not required
for Air-cooled
Standby
Generators
prior to the 2008 model line.
This unit is not compatible
with other generator
manufacturer's
products.
