Electric Generator Safety Precautions and Warnings

1.The Generator produces electrical current. Improper use can result in electrocution, injury or death. Only a qualified technician should service or repair this generator.

2.The Generator was designed to be used in a dry area. Do not expose to rain, snow, sleet, or damp conditions. Damage to the Generator could occur. Moisture can carry electrical current and could cause electrocution.

3.If the Generator is connected to a building, home, business, or any other electrical circuit normally fed by utility power, steps must be taken to ensure that the Generator output and the utility power are positively isolated. Do not plug other appliances into the electrical outlet being used to power the Generator. Failure to isolate the systems will result in Generator damage. It could also result in personal injury or death to those working around these circuits. Any connection in this regard must only be done by a licensed electrician.

4.Do not exceed the Generator’s rated capacity. The total electrical loads at each outlet must be added to determine the total electrical load. If the electrical appliance does not list the wattage rating, you can calculate it by multiplying amps times voltage (amps x voltage = watts).

5.Do not tamper with the drive, engine-governed speed.The Generator operates at a nominal speed of 3600 RPM. Increases in speed could damage rotating parts of the Generator. Slower speeds could damage the Generator or appliances connected to the Generator due to low voltage.

6.Always follow national and local safety codes.

7.Do not start the Generator with appliances connected and turned on.

8.If the driver motor is a gas engine, do not used in an enclosed area due to the carbon monoxide fumes produced. The fumes can be deadly.

9.Give the Generator at least two feet of space to dissipate heat.

10.Properly ground the Generator. The National Electrical Code requires that the Generator frame be properly grounded to earth. This should be done by a licensed electrician.

11.Never handle electrical charged extension cords while standing in water.

12.Only use 3-prong, grounded extension cords.

13.Keep fingers and hands away from the spinning pulleys.

14.Install a safety guard around the pulleys.

15.WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.

Grounding Instruction: This generator should be grounded to help prevent accidental electrical shock. Drive a 3/4” or 1” diameter copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the generator set. The pipe must penetrate moist earth. Using #10 gauge wire, connect one end of the wire to the generator frame. Connect the other end of the wire to the copper pipe or rod using an approved ground clamp.
