1. Connect the battery cable from the battery post or

terminal indicated by a POSITIVE, POS or (+) to the
lug on the starter contactor (Figure 6.20).

NOTE:

Check to be sure the battery cable boot for the
starter cable has been installed.

2. Connect the battery cable from the battery post indi-

cated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (-) to the frame
ground connection (Figure 6.20).

3. Connect cables so the connectors are clean 

and tight.

Install the generator battery in its own, vented compart-
ment. 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.

A plug-in receptacle (Figure 6.21) is provided on the
generator set, above the muffler enclosure. Use this
receptacle to connect an optional remote-mounted
start/stop panel to the generator. Installation of such a
panel will permit you to start and stop the generator
engine from any convenient location inside the vehicle.

The remote panels mount a rocker type start/stop
switch, a “Generator Run” advisory lamp and an
hourmeter. The hourmeter should be used in conjunc-
tion with the maintenance operations found in Part I of
this manual.
• Model 004057 includes the remote panel and a 10

foot long, 4 wire harness.

• Model 004184 includes the remote panel and a 30

foot long, 4 wire harness.
