DANGER - ELECTROCUTION HAZARDS

During operation of this generator, there exists the possibility of

which can cause or even

To avoid these hazards:

NEVER use damaged or worn cables when connecting equipment to the generator. Make sure power connecting cables are securely connected to the generator’s output terminals, insufficient tightening of the terminal connections may cause damage to the generator

and electrical shock.

■ ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly

per the

(NEC) and

local codes before operating generator. Severe

or

by electrocution can result from operating an ungrounded generator.

■ALWAYS be sure to use the ground terminal (green wire) when connecting a load to the U,V, and W output terminal lugs.
