POWER CORD CONNECTIONS TO TWIST- LOCK PLUGS

Refer to the appropriate diagram above for proper connection of power cord wires to the Twist-Lock plug terminals. Also, read the instruction sheet supplied with the Twist-lock plug.

PLUGS AND HAND-HELD EQUIPMENT

For further protection against electric shock, any 120 volt hand-held equipment connected to the generator receptacles must use a three-blade, grounded type plug or an Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) approved double insulation system with a two-blade plug.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The POWER ARC 5000 has circuit

breakers for overload protection. When the machine is operated in high temperature environments, the

breakers may tend to trip at lower loads than normal- ly.

CAUTION

Never bypass the circuit breakers. Without overload protection, the POWER ARC 5000 could overheat and/or cause damage to the equipment being used.

PREMISES WIRING

The POWER ARC 5000 three-wire, grounded neutral generator allows it to be connected to premises wiring. However, the wiring procedure needed to

meet the National Electric Code (NEC) regulations as well as city ordinances can be confusing. Matters get worse depending on whether you want the machine to be “hardwired” to the premises or only connected temporarily.

WARNING

Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should install the machine to a premises or residential electri- cal system. Be certain that:

•The premises is isolated and no feedbacking into the utility system can occur. Certain state and local laws require the premises to be isolated before the generator is linked to the premises. Check your state and local requirements.

•A double pole, double throw transfer switch in con- junction with the properly rated double throw cir- cuit breaker is connected between the generator power and the utility meter.

Remember that the POWER ARC 5000 is intended only for backup, intermittent use. It cannot withstand long-term use without proper maintenance. See the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for more information.

CAUTION

Certain electrical devices cannot be powered by the POWER ARC 5000. Refer to Table A.2 for these devices.
