A01296

Attempting to connect to the in-

coming utility service could result

in electrocution.

Restoration of electrical service

while the generator is connected

to the incoming utility could

result in a fire or serious damage

if an isolator switch is not

installed.

Failure to use a double throw

transfer switch when connecting

to a structure's electrical system

can damage appliances and

WILL VOID the manufacturer's

warranty.

To connect to a structure's electri-

cal system in a safe manner,

always have a Double-Throw

Transfer Switch installed by a

qualified electrician and in compli-

ance with local ordinances.

(When installing a Double-

Throw Transfer Switch, a mini-

mum of 10 gauge wiring must

be used.)

RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE

(Continued)

HAZARD

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HOW TO PREVENT IT

Operation of

generator in rain,

wet, icy, or

flooded

conditions.

Water is an excellent conductor

of electricity! Water which comes

in contact with electrically

charged components can

transmit electricity to the frame

and other surfaces, resulting in

electrical shock to anyone con-

tacting them.

Operate generator in a clean, dry,

well ventilated area. Make sure

hands are dry before touching

unit.

Use of worn,

damaged, under-

sized or un-

grounded exten-

sion cords.

Use of ungrounded cordsets

could prevent operation of

circuit breakers and result in

electrical shock.

Always use a cordset having a

grounding wire with an

appropriate grounding plug. DO

NOT use an ungrounded plug.

Use proper size (wire gauge)

cordset for application see chart

in the Assembly section of this

manual.

Contact with worn or damaged

extension cords could result in

electrocution.

Use of undersize extension

cords could result in overheating

of the wires or attached items,

resulting in fire.

Inspect extension cords before

use and replace with new cord if

required.

Placing generator

on or against

highly conductive

surface, such as a

steel walkway or

metal roof.

Place generator on low conduc-

tivity surface such as a concrete

slab.

Accidental leakage of electrical

current could charge conductive

surfaces in contact with the

generator.

ALWAYS operate generator a

minimum of six feet from any

conductive surface.

Improper

connection of

items to

generator.

Exceeding the load capacity of

the generator by attaching too

many items, or items with very

high load ratings to it could

result in overheating of some

items or their attachment wiring

resulting in fire or electrical

shock.

Read the load rating chart and

instructions in the Wattage Cal-

culation section. Make sure that

the summation of electrical

loads for all attachments does

not exceed the load rating of the

generator.

Attempting to

connect generator

directly to the

electrical system

of any building

structure.
