Reading the manual it says to polarize the thing by touching a wire from the batter + (Starter wire) to the Arm terminal. (Thick one on generator) So I tried this and got a big 'ol spark. Is this supposed to spark like that I wonder?
So then I fire up the truck, hatter still 11.x volts. Grr. Clicked in the left relay. It locks when you click it in. Now I have 9.x volts. Yikes! Pop it off with a green spark.
So it seems that my polarizing thing didn't work correctly? Its a battery drainer?
Scratching head in confusion..
