Safe Operating Precautions

Standby Power

Improper connection to a building electrical system can allow 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. Additionally, the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician prior to making any power connections.

Connections to a Building Electrical System

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; when utility power is restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical system. Do not connect this generator to an automatic transfer switch. Serious damage to the engine and inverter module may result.

In some areas, generators are lawfully required to be registered with local utility companies. Check local regulations for proper registration and usage procedures.

System Ground

To prevent 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.

System Requirements

There may be federal or state regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.

If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulatory requirements.
