OPERATING VOLTAGE

CAUTION: Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage, always have an additional load plugged into the generator if solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended for some solid state applications.

A power line conditioner should be used when running one or more of the following solid state items:

Garage door openers

Kitchen appliances with digital displays

Televisions

Stereos

Personal computers

Quartz clocks

Copy machines

Telephone equipment

Other solid state equipment may require a power line conditioner. For more information, contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-445-1805 or www.powermate.com.

INSTALLATION

To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage, a registered electrician or an authorized service representative should perform installation and all service. Under no circumstances should an unqualified person attempt to wire into a utility circuit.

To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the residence electrical system is required.

Before temporary connection of the generator to the residence electrical system, turn off the main service/disconnect.

If your generator is to be used as a stand-by power source in case of utility power failure, it should be installed by a registered electrician and in compliance with all applicable local electrical codes.

Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be installed by a licensed qualified electrician so that the building's electrical circuits may be safely switched between utility power and the generator's output, thereby preventing backfeed into the power utility's electrical system.

To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the residence electrical system is required. Before temporary connection of a generator to the residence electrical system turn off the main switch. Before making permanent connections a double throw transfer switch must be installed. To avoid electrocution or property damage, only a trained electrician should connect generator to residence electrical system. California law requires isolation of the residence electrical system before connecting a generator to residence electrical systems. Temporary connection not recommended due to backfeeding.

Always follow local codes and regulations that apply to the installation of any item that concerns this product.

1.NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code.

2.NFPA 37 - Standard for Installation and Use of Stationary Combustible Engines.

3.Agricultural Wiring handbook of Farm Standby Electric Power.
