7-2. Connecting Load Cables

WARNING : ELECTRIC SHOCK
 Before connecting or disconnecting the load cables to/from the output
terminal, always turn the output circuit breakers to the OFF position, stop the
engine, and remove the starter key.
 Close the output terminal cover before operating.
 Do not insert a pin, needle or other metal object into the receptacle.
 Do not touch the generator if the generator or casing becomes wet during
operation.
CAUTION : FIRE
 Do not connect the generator output to indoor wiring.
< Note >
 When connecting a load, check that the generator output setting, output terminal connection
position, and load power source are all matching.
 If using the N terminal, be careful that the currents of each phase are uniform.
 If using three-phase output simultaneously with a single-phase three-wire type output, use in a
range where the total current does not exceed the rated current.
 If using three-phase output simultaneously with a single-phase three-wire type output, be careful
as it is possible for the outputs to mutually affect each other.
 Use proper tools when connecting a load to sufficiently tighten the connection. Failure to
sufficiently tightened will result in cable burnout.
 Terminal cover must remain closed during operation or breaker will trip.
