DCA-25SSIU2 (50 HZ)— RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Generator Grounding

To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH ground.

Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provides guide lines for proper grounding and specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

The following safety recommendations should also be followed:

■

ALWAYS make sure generator is properly grounded.

■

NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.

DANGER - ELECTROCUTION HAZARDS

During operation of this generator, there exists the possibility of electrocution, electrical shock or burn, which can cause severe bodily harm or even DEATH!

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

grounded 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.

■ ALWAYS be sure to use the ground terminal (green wire)

when connecting a load to the U,V, and W output

terminal lugs.

Electrical Safety

■ALWAYS have a qualified electrician perform the generator wiring installation.

■ALWAYS make sure generator installation is accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes before operating generator.

■NEVER use a defective or frayed power cable. Check the cable for cuts in the insulation.

■NEVER use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged where the insulation has been cut.

■ALWAYS make certain that proper extension cord has been selected for the job. See Table 5.

■NEVER power cables or cords lay in water.

■NEVER stand in water while AC power from the generator is being transfer to a load.

NEVER grab or touch a live power cord with wet hands.

NEVER touch output terminals during operation. This is extremely dangerous. ALWAYS stop the machine and place the circuit breaker in the OFF position when contact with the output terminals is required.

Backfeed to a utility system can cause electrocution and or property damage. DO NOT connect to any building's electrical system except through an approved device or after building main switch is opened. ALWAYS have a licensed electrician perform the installation
