ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER
„ NEVER touch the output terminals
during operation. Contact with the
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 the
generator and all circuit breakers OFF before performing
maintenance on the generator or making contact with
the 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.
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 the generator. Inspect the
insulation for cuts.
„ NEVER grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.

SAFETY INFORMATION
„ 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 the proper power or
extension cord has been selected for the job. See the
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 the generator. Severe injury or
death by electrocution can result from operating an
ungrounded generator.
„ NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.
BATTERY SAFETY
DANGER
„ DO NOT drop the battery. There is a possibility that the
battery will explode.
„ NEVER expose the battery to open fl ames,
sparks, cigarettes, etc. The battery contains
combustible gases and liquids. If these
gases and liquids come into contact with a
fl ame or spark, an explosion could occur.
WARNING
„ ALWAYS wear safety glasses when
handling the battery to avoid eye irritation.
The battery contains acids that can cause
injury to the eyes and skin.
„ Use well-insulated gloves when picking up the battery.
„ ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not
charged, combustible gas will build up.
„ ALWAYS recharge the battery in a well-ventilated
environment to avoid the risk of a dangerous concentration
of combustible gases.
„ If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes into
contact with clothing or skin, rinse skin or clothing
immediately with plenty of water.
