safety
This product has been designed with internal grounding or floating
bonded neutral. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Improper grounding can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician for
your local requirements if you are in doubt as to
whether the unit is properly grounded.
This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for added
protection. Using the ground path from the generator to an
external ground source as instructed in the section labeled
"Grounding Instructions" in the Preparation section of this manual
can be necessary. Please consult a qualified electrician for local
regulations.
The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not
kept dry. Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet
conditions. To protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface
under an open, canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before
touching the generator.
Plug appliances directly into the generator. Or, use a heavy duty,
outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least
equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check that the
entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three
prongs,especially a grounding pin.
NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into
a wall outlet, a practice known as "back feeding". This is an
extremely dangerous practice that presents an electrocution risk to
utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer.
It also bypasses some of the built-in household circuit protection
devices.
If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power
appliances, have a qualified electrician install the appropriate
equipment in accordance with local electrical codes.
