Electrical Safety

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER

The electrical voltage required to operate the generator can cause severe injury or even death through physical contact with live circuits. Turn generator and all circuit breakers OFF before performing maintenance on the generator.

 NEVER insert any objects into the output receptacles during operation. This is extremely dangerous.The possibility exists of electrical shock, electrocution or death.

 NEVER operate light tower or handle any electrical equipment while standing in water, while barefoot, while hands are wet or in the rain. A dangerous electrical shock could occur, causing severe bodily harm or even death.

ALWAYS make sure the area above the light tower is

open and clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions. The tower extends in excess of 30 feet (9 meters). Contact with overhead power lines or other obstructions could result in equipment damage, electrical shock, electrocution and even death.

Similar to boom equipment, light tower may become energized with high voltage. DO NOT operate the light tower within a radial distance of 17 feet (5.1 meters) from high voltage power lines. If light tower becomes energized with high voltage, contact with the equipment could result in electrocution.

NEVER operate GB2000 in winds in excess of 40 MPH (64 km/h).

Backfeed to a utility system can cause electrocution and/or property damage. NEVER connect the generator to a building’s electrical system without a transfer switch or other approved device. All installations should be performed by a licensed electrician in

accordance with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burn,

causing serious injury or even death.

Power Cord/Cable Safety

DANGER

NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.

NEVER use damaged or worn cables or cords when connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in the insulation.

 NEVER grab or touch a live power cord or cable with wet hands. The possibility exists of electrical shock,

electrocution or death.

Make sure power cables are securely connected. Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock and damage to the light tower.

NOTICE

ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension cord has been selected for the job.

Ensure fan power cable is safely routed and secured as it travels from the junction box down the mast to the GFCI receptacle.

Grounding Safety

DANGER

The light tower is equipped with a ground terminal for your protection. ALWAYS complete the grounding path from the light tower to an extrnal grounding source.

ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly grounded to a suitable earth ground (ground rod) per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes before operating generator. Severe injury or death by electrocution can result from operating an ungrounded generator.

NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.
