3. Set-up either as a BUILDING BACK-UP or PORTABLE Power Source

This generator is designed to provide up to 8000W of electrical power. It can supply electricity in two ways:

1.As a back-up, standby power source for a building. For this application, you must arrange for a licensed electrician to connect the generator to your building’s electrical system via the installation of an UL-approved transfer switch. The transfer switch must be installed in accordance with building electrical code and guidelines supplied by your power company.

2.As a portable power source. You can plug appliances or tools directly into the generator’s electrical outlets.

Specific requirements for each are given below.

Note: Regardless of whether you use your generator as a back-up power source connected to a building or as a portable power source, you must not overload the generator. Overloading may cause serious damage to the generator and attached electrical devices.

Using as a Back-up Power Source for a Building

Contact a licensed electrician to install a UL-approved transfer switch if you want to use your generator as a back-up power source for a building.

What does a transfer switch do? It:

a)Safely connects the generator to your building’s electrical system by isolating your generator from your utility company’s power lines,

AND

b)Connects your generator to a critical subset of your building’s circuits that are needed for emergency power needs.

If your generator will be connected to your building’s electrical system, it MUST ALWAYS be isolated from the utility power grid with a UL-approved transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician in compliance with all applicable building and electrical codes, and in accordance with guidelines supplied by your power company.

DANGER:

A transfer switch must be installed in order to isolate your generator from the utility power grid. If your generator is NOT properly isolated from the utility system, serious hazards will arise:

♦When your generator is running, it’s output will back feed into the utility power line and transformer that are normally used to provide you with power. The transformer will step up the current to the normal line voltage. An unsuspecting utility line worker working on what he thinks is a deactivated line could be electrocuted.

♦If your generator is connected (running or not) when utility power is restored, your generator will be destroyed. It could also explode or cause fire.

In addition to isolating your generator from the utility system, the transfer switch connects your generator to a limited set of circuits in your building
