6. GENERATOR USE
Be sure to ground the generator when the connected equipment is grounded.
• To prevent an electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded.
Connect a length of heavy cable between the generator's ground terminal and an external
ground source.
• It is recommended that this generator not be connected for standby power to any household
or building's electrical circuits. Improper connections can allow electrical current from the
generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute workers or other
persons who contact the lines during a power outage. When utility power is restored the
generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical system.
• Do not connect the generator to an automatic transfer device. Severe damage to the generator
may result.
