NOTICE
In order to use the generator, you must first
open the seacock valve (handle parallel to the
flow of valve). Failure to open seacock valve
while running generator will cause generator to
overheat and possible failure. When not using
the generator be sure to close the seacock.
Batteries produce hydrogen and oxygen gases
when being charged. These explosive gases
escape through the vent/fill caps and may form
an explosive atmosphere around the battery if
the ventilation is poor. This gas may remain
around the battery for several hours after
charging. Sparks or flames can ignite the gas
and cause an explosion.

Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe
burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Wear goggles, rubber gloves and
