Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions when handling electrical components and operating generators:

• Ensure the generator is turned off and cooled down before connecting or disconnecting the battery charge cable.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves.
• Do not connect the cable to a damaged battery or a battery that is leaking.
• Connect the positive (red) clip to the positive (+) battery terminal first, then the negative (black) clip to the negative (-) battery terminal.
• When disconnecting, remove the negative (black) clip first, then the positive (red) clip.
• Keep the cable away from moving parts, hot surfaces, and sharp edges.
• Do not use the cable if it is damaged, frayed, or has exposed wires.
• Refer to your generator's owner's manual for specific battery charging instructions and safety guidelines.

Setup

1. Prepare the Generator: Ensure your generator is turned off and the engine has cooled down. Locate the battery compartment or battery terminals on your generator.
2. Inspect the Cable: Before each use, visually inspect the 65787GS battery charge cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts, abrasions, or corrosion on the clips. Do not use a damaged cable.
3. Connect to Battery:
   • Connect the red alligator clip to the positive (+) terminal of the generator's battery.
   • Connect the black alligator clip to the negative (-) terminal of the generator's battery.
   • Ensure both clips are securely attached to prevent accidental disconnection during charging.
4. Connect to Power Source: Insert the two-prong AC plug of the charge cable into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

Operating

Once the cable is properly connected as described in the "Setup" section:

• The cable will begin to charge the generator's battery. This cable is designed to provide a trickle charge to maintain battery health or slowly recharge a depleted battery.
• Monitor the charging process according to your generator's battery specifications. Some generators may have an indicator light for charging status.
• Avoid overcharging the battery. Refer to your generator's manual for recommended charging times or battery maintenance procedures.
• When charging is complete or if you need to disconnect, first unplug the AC plug from the wall outlet.
• Then, disconnect the black alligator clip from the negative (-) battery terminal, followed by the red alligator clip from the positive (+) battery terminal.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your battery charge cable:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the cable and clips with a dry, clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, or corrosion. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks or damage.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Replace the cable immediately if any damage is found.
• Battery Terminals: Ensure generator battery terminals are clean and free of corrosion for optimal connection.
