Appendix B – Emission Control System
Your generator has an engine that has been approved by the California Air Resources Board. Other than the tune
up procedures specied in the maintenance section, no additional maintenance is required.
The emission control system has the following components:
Fuel System: The fuel tank, cap, indicator and hoses are specially designed and constructed to not allow fuel
vapors to permeate and be released to the atmosphere.
A carbon activated canister collects gasoline vapors from the fuel tank and returns them to the combustion
chamber for burning.
A catalyst is built into the mufer to further treat the engine exhaust.
A secondary air injection valve adds combustion air to ignite unburned fuel in the exhaust.
Contact your authorized POWERHOUSE® service center to obtain the correct replacement parts and service on
this system.
Appendix C – Safety And Charging Instructions
(a) Save these instructions. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
(b) Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during
normal battery operation. For this reason it is of the utmost importance that each time before using your
charger, you read and follow the instructions provided exactly.
(c) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those marked on the battery.
(d) Never smoke or allow an open spark or ame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
(e) Use charger for charging a lead-acid battery only. It is not intended to supply power to an extra-low-
voltage electrical system or to charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may cause them to
burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
(f) Never charge a frozen battery.
(g) If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge it, always remove grounded terminal from
battery rst. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off in order to prevent an arc.
(h) Study all battery manufacturer’s specic precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
(i) For a charger having an output voltage selector switch, refer to the car owner’s manual in order to
determine the voltage of the battery and to make sure the output voltage is set at the correct voltage. If an
output voltage selector switch is not provided, do not use the battery charger unless the battery voltage
matches the output voltage rating of the charger.
(j) Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged; gases or uids from the
battery will corrode and damage the charger. Locate the charger as far away from the battery as dc
cables permit.
(k) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
