5.Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, and dust mask/respirator during set up.

6.Use only lubricants and fuel recom- mended in the engine manual pro- vided by the tractor manufacturer.

7.Permanent wiring or wiring into an existing electrical service MUST be done by a licensed electrician, and MUST comply with all applicable codes.

Don’t connect the generator directly to a building’s wiring. A portable electric generator that is connected directly to utility line can ‘back feed’ into the power lines. This lower volt- age created by the generator can be increased to thousands of volts by line transformers. That unex- pected voltage can injure or even kill a utility lineman making outage repairs many miles away. Hard wiring can also cause expensive damage to utility equipment and the generator.

A hard wired generator must be installed by a licensed electrician with a UL approved cut-off switch that will automatically disconnect the home from the power grid when the generator is being used. Check with the local utility company before having a generator hard-wired to a building.

8.Make sure the generator is properly grounded to avoid electrical shocks. Connect a 6 ga. or larger insulated copper wire to the Ground Con- nection on the Control Panel. Con- nect this wire to a suitable external ground, such as a metal stake in the ground.

9.Don’t overload the generator. The total wattage used by the devices should be less than the output rating of the generator. If you put too many devices on the generator, it could seriously damage them. Overload- ing the generator can also cause fire. This generator is rated at 15,000

Watts. NOTE: At start-up, devices draw more power in a surge than they do during continuous operation.

When figuring total wattage of all devices connected to this generator, use the higher start-up rating of each device.

10.Do not exceed the current limit speci- fied for any one receptacle. Refer to the Specifications chart for amperage limits on each receptacle.
