GENERATOR USE
6.
Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless an isolation
switch has been installed by a qualified electrician.
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system
must be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can
allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the
utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage,
and when utility power is restored, the generator may explode,
burn, or cause fires in the building’s electrical system.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could
cause the damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the
house.
Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is
intended for. Also observe the following when using the generator.
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber
sheathed flexible cable (IEC 245 or equivalent).
Limit length of extension cables; 60 m (200 feet) for cables of 1.5
mm
(0.0023 in ) and 100 m (330 feet) for cables of 2.5 mm (0.0039
in
). Long extension cables will lower usable power due to
resistance in the extension cable.
Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as
commercial power supply lines.
Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
Be sure to ground the generator when the connected equipment is
grounded.
