GENERATOR PRECAUTIONS
Set up
Do not connect generator directly into 1.
a home’s utility electrical line. Do
not plug a generator into an outlet in
the home. Connecting a generator
directly to a utility power supply can
‘back feed’ along the power lines and
kill or injure utility workers working on
the lines.
All connections and conduits from 2.
the Generator to the load must only
be installed by trained and licensed
electricians, and in compliance with
all relevant local, state, and federal
electrical codes and standards, and
other regulations where applicable.
The generator must be earth-ground-3.
ed in accordance with all relevant
electrical codes and standards before
operation.
Insulate all connections and discon-4.
nected wires.
Connect the generator only to a load 5.
or electrical system (120 volt or 240
volt) that is compatible with the elec-
trical characteristics and rated capac-
ities of the generator.
Set up the generator outdoors in a 6.
well-ventilated, dry area, away from
building air intakes. The genera-
tor should be protected from direct
exposure to rain and snow. Do not
set up the generator on a conductive
surface such as a metal deck.
Before connecting generator’s wir-7.
ing:
Turn the engine switch to its a.
“OFF” position.
Allow the engine to completely b.
cool.
Then, remove the spark plug c.
Wire(s) from the spark plug(s).
Operation
Do not attempt to connect or discon-1.
nect load connections while standing
in water, or on wet or soggy ground.
Do not touch electrically energized 2.
parts of the Generator and intercon-
necting cables or conductors with any
part of the body, or with any non-insu-
lated conductive object.
Use only Class BC or Class ABC re 3.
extinguishers on electrical res.
Do not overload the generator. Over-4.
loading can cause res in the electri-
cal cords, in addition to generator and
appliance damage.
Service
Keep all electrical equipment clean 1.
and dry. Replace any wiring where
the insulation is cracked, cut, abrad-
ed, or otherwise degraded. Replace
terminals that are worn, discolored, or
corroded. Keep terminals clean and
tight.
