I thought there was another tech bulletin or supplement to the owner's manual so I emailed CPE. They sent the following technical bulletin stating this was the only one they had.
Technical Bulletin
Number: 2030002
Charge Diode Replacement Model (46538)
(Note: Read instructions completely before performing service)
Issue Date: 08/09/2010
1) Make sure fuel valve is in the off position.
2) Remove black (–) lead from battery with 10mm wrench,
socket or Phillips screw driver.
3) Remove red (+) lead from battery. Remove the battery
from the unit and place a safe distance away.
4) Remove the 4 corner bolts from the front panel to access
the charge coil diode.
5) Remove the plastic control box cover located on the far
left corner (2 screws).
6) Remove the white wire harness connector attached to the
diode box found on the far left of the control box.
7) Connect the new charge coil diode to the wire harness
harness connector. The original charge diode does not
need to be removed.
8) Replace and secure the control box cover (2 screws)
followed by the front panel (4 bolts).
9) Re-attach the ground cable to the ground terminal inside
front panel between the panel and from mount.
10) Replace the battery into the battery box.
11) Re-connect the red (+) cable to the battery followed by
the black (–) cable.
12) If the battery does not have enough charge to electrically
start the unit, use the recoil starter and allow it to run
for approximately 2 hours to re-charge. Once the battery
has been re-charged the unit will start with the wireless
remote or using the ignition switch located on the power
panel.
TECH TIPS:
–– When not using the unit for more than one day make sure to flip the ignition switch to the “Off” position.
–– When not using the unit for more than one week, remove negative cable from battery.
–– When not using the unit for extented periods of time, the battery should be removed and stored in a cool dry place. A 12V
automatic battery charger with automatic trickle charging capability should be used to charge the battery. Maximum charging
rate should not exceed 2 amps. Follow the instructions included with the battery charger. The battery should be fully charged
at least once per month (Note: A Float Charger will maintain the battery condition over long storage periods).
