This generator can be equipped as an option with a jacket
water heater and an internal battery charger. They are
provided with electric cords to connect to a commercial
power source.
These units will
onlY function when commercial power has
been supplied to them (Figure 57). When using extension
cords, refer to Table 6 for the correct size and length.
The battery charger should always be connected to a
commercial power source to ensure that the battery does
not get discharged.
When using the generator in
hot climates there is no need
to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if the
generator will be used in cold climates, it is best to apply
power to the jacket water heater at all times.

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.
NOTICE
To ensure adequate starting capability, always have
power applied to the generator's internal battery
charger.
