2.7.4 BATTERY COMPARTMENT
Install the generator battery in its own, vented com-
partment. Place the battery compartment away from
any source of heat, sparks, or flame.
Provide ventilation openings in the battery compart-
ment. The minimum size of openings should be 2
square inches at the top of the compartment. Mount
the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure,
where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause
damage.

the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure,
where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause
damage.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The
battery is capable of exploding. Storage batter-
ies give off explosive hydrogen gas. This gas
can form an explosive mixture around the bat-
tery for several hours after charging. The
slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an
explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the
battery and cause blindness or other injury.
Any area that houses a storage battery must be
properly ventilated. Do not allow smoking,
open flame, sparks, or any spark-producing tool
or equipment near the battery. Discharge static
electricity from your body before touching the
battery by first touching a grounded metal sur-
face.

The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically
conductive and corrosive. The following

procedures are to be observed:
• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;
• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
immediately with water.

• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an
acid-neutralizing agent. A common practice is to
use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate
of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicar-
bonate of soda solution is to be added until the
evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The
resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the
area dried.

2.8 OPTIONAL
ACCESSORIES
A plug-in connector (Figure 2.20) is provided on the
generator set, below the control panel. Use this to
connect an optional remote-mounted start/stop panel
to the generator. Installation of such a panel will per-
mit you to start and stop the generator engine from
any convenient location inside the vehicle.
