6) Ground Terminal
The generator ground terminal is connected to the panel of the generator, the metal
non-current carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each
receptacle. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical
inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to
the intended use of the generator.
7) Oil Alert System
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient
amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a
safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine
switch will remain in the ON position). The oil alert system shuts down the engine and
the engine will not start. If this occurs, first check engine oil. (See page 17)
4. GENERATOR USE
1) Connections to a Building’s Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be made by a
qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power,
and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system, can
allow electrical current from the generator to feedback into the
utility lines. Such feedback may electrocute utility company workers or others
who contact the lines during a power outage. Consult the utility company or a
qualified electrician.
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can
allow electrical current from the utility company to feedback
into the generator. When utility power is restored, the generator may explode,
burn, or cause fires in the building’s electrical system.
