SAFETY INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

DANGER

DO NOT touch output terminals during operation. Contact with output terminals during operation can cause electrocution, electrical shock or burn.

The electrical voltage required to operate the generator can cause severe

injury or even death through physical contact with live circuits. Turn generator and all circuit breakers OFF before performing maintenance on the generator or making contact with output terminals.

NEVER insert any objects into the output

receptacles during operation. This is extremely dangerous.The possibility exists of electrical shock, electrocution or death.

Backfeed to a utility system can cause

electrocution and/or property damage. NEVER connect the generator to a building’s electrical system without a transfer switch or other approved

device. All installations should be

performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burn, causing serious injury or even death.

Make sure power cables are securely connected to the generator’s output receptacles. Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock and damage to the generator.

NOTICE

ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension cord has been selected for the job. See Cable Selection Chart in this manual.

Grounding Safety

DANGER

ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly grounded to a suitable earth ground (ground rod) 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.

NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.

Power Cord/Cable Safety

DANGER

NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.

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

NEVER use damaged or worn cables or cords when connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in the insulation.

NEVER grab or touch a live power cord or cable with wet hands. The possibility exists of electrical shock, electrocution or death.
