3500 Watt Generator
General Precautions (cont'd)
Electrical Safety (cont'd)
• All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must be installed by trained and
licensed electricians, only. Installations must be in compliance with all relevant local, state,
and federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable.
• For fixed installations, the generator must be earth-grounded before operation in accordance with
all relevant electrical codes and standards.
• Do not attempt to connect or disconnect wires to the load while standing in water or on wet or
soggy ground.
• Do not touch electrically energized parts of the generator and interconnecting cables or
conductors with any part of the body or with any non-insulated conductive object.
• Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the equipment from its power
input.
• Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation is
cracked, cut, abraded, or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or
corroded. Keep terminals clean and tight.
• Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
• Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
generator. Do not use a generator while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating generators may
result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
