Battery
Connections
Starting the unit requires 24-volt battery current. Use
two 12-volt (see SPECIFICATIONS) batteries for a nor-
mal installation. Connect the batteries in series (nega-
tive post of first battery to positive post of second) as
shown in Figure 15. Normal installation battery cables
are included. Increase the cable size if batteries are
located remotely from generator set. Service the batter-
ies as necessary. Infrequent unit use (as in emergency
standby service) may allow the batteries to self-
discharge to the point where they cannot start the unit. If
installing an automatic transfer switch that has no built-
in charge circuit, connect a special float charger.
Ignition of explosive battery gases
can cause severe personal injury. Do
