GENERATOR
PRECAuTIONS
Set up:
1. Do not connect the Generator directly
into a home's utility electrical line. Do
not plug this Generator into an outlet
in the home. Connecting a generator
directly to a utility power supply can
"back feed" along the power lines and
kill or injure utility workers working on
the lines.
2. All connections and conduits from
the Generator to the load must only
be installed by trained and licensed
electricians, and in compliance with
all relevant local, state, and federal
electrical codes and standards, and
other regulations where applicable.
3. The Generator must be earth-ground-
ed in accordance with all relevant
electrical codes and standards before
operation.
• A 10-gauge copper wire should be
used to connect the ground termi-
nal of the Generator to a grounding
rod. A wire that is too thin may not
provide sufficient electrical current
carrying capacity to be an adequate
ground path.
• The other end of the ground wire
must be securely fastened to an
approved ground source. Refer to
local regulations for ground source
information. If unsure of regulations
or procedures, obtain assistance
from a licensed or certified electri-
cian.
4. Insulate all connections and discon-
nected wires.
