7. cAuTiON: This generator is not intended to power sensitive electronic
equipment* without the addition of an appropriate line conditioner and
surge protector (both not included). Sensitive electronic equipment should be
operated on approved inverter type generators or pure sine wave generators.
If the plugged in product operates abnormally or unusually slow, immediately stop
using the generator as a power source. Always read and adhere to the instruction
manual of the product to be powered, to make sure that it can be safely and
efficiently powered by a portable generator.
Note: When using a generator to provide home standby electricity, a transfer
switch (sold separately) is needed to prevent back feeding power into the utility
line.
Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a
qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility
power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNiNG: Improper connections to a building electrical system 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 the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when
utility power is restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.
*Sensitive electronic equipment includes, but is not limited to, audio/video
equipment, some television sets, computers, and printers.
1. Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator: Make sure that it
is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential
for electrical shock.
2. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly,
turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the
problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been
exceeded.
3. Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of
the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power
