JACKET WATER HEATER AND INTERNAL BATTERY
CHARGER 120 VAC INPUT RECEPTACLES
(OPTIONAL)
This generator can be optionally equipped with two 120
VAC, 20 amp input receptacles located on the output
terminal panel.
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via
commercial power to the jacket water heater and internal
battery charger.
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial
power has been supplied to them (Figure 58). To apply
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of
adequate size will be required (See Table 6).
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 cold 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.

Heater Power Connections
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.
