    introduction Attention: Read through the complete manual prior to the initial use of your generator. Using the Operator’s manual The operating manual is an important part of your generator and should  be read thoroughly before initial use, and referred to often to make sure  adequate safety and service concerns are being addressed. Reading the owner’s manual thoroughly will help avoid any personal  injury or damage to your machine. By knowing how best to operate this  machine you will be better positioned to show others who may also  operate the unit. This manual contains information for the complete range of CASE  generators, and was written to take you from the safety requirements  to the operating functions of your machine.  You can refer back to the  manual at any time to help troubleshoot any specific operating functions,  so store it with the machine at all times.

  • Page 9: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection

    safety GROUND FAUlT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION These generators are equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) 120V duplex receptacles for protection against the hazards of electrical shock from defective attachments such as, tools, cords, and cables. WARNING The GFCI may not function unless the generator is properly  grounded. Follow the correct procedure specified in the section  labeled GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. A GFCI is a device that interrupts electricity from either the utility or generator by means of a special type of circuit breaker that determines if  a current flow to the ground occurs. A GFCI can be used only with generators that have the neutral wire internally bonded to the frame, and the frame properly grounded to the earth. A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly grounded. All Case generators have internally bonded ground wires. ...
  • Page 10 safety This product has been designed with internal grounding or floating  bonded neutral. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro- vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of  electric shock. DANGER Improper grounding can result in a risk of electrocu- tion. 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. ...
