OPERATING VOLTAGE
CAUTION: Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage, always have an additional load plugged into the generator if solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended for some solid state applications.
A power line conditioner should be used when running one or more of the following solid state items:
Garage door openers
Kitchen appliances with digital displays
Televisions
Stereos
Personal computers
Quartz clocks
Copy machines
Telephone equipment
Other solid state equipment may require a power line conditioner. For more information, contact our Customer Service Department at

Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be installed by a licensed qualified electrician so that the building's electrical circuits may be safely switched between utility power and the generator's output, thereby preventing backfeed into the power utility's electrical system.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the residence electrical system is required. Before temporary connection of a generator to the residence electrical system turn off the main switch. Before making permanent connections a double throw transfer switch must be installed. To avoid electrocution or property damage, only a trained electrician should connect generator to residence electrical system. California law requires isolation of the residence electrical system before connecting a generator to residence electrical systems. Temporary connection not recommended due to backfeeding.
Always follow local codes and regulations that apply to the installation of any item that concerns this product.
