Generator Use - Honda EX800 Owner's Manual

5. GENERATOR USE
l
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be
grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the ground terminal
and the ground source.
l
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be
made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws
and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current
from the generator to backfeed into.the utility lines. Such backfeed may
electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during
a power outage, and when utility power is restored, the generator may ex-
plode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical system.
