The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire (the neutral is bonded to the generator frame).

Special Requirements

There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 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:

•In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.

•If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations which must be observed.

Connecting 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.

WARNING

Generator produces hazardous voltage.

Failure to isolate generator from power utility can result in death or injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

•When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility.

•Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work.

•DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

•DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.

•DO NOT operate generator in the rain or wet weather.

•DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

•DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator.

Clearances and Air Movement

WARNING

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.

Place generator outdoors in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place generator where exhaust gas (A) could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area. Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning generator.
