Ensure that generator is properly grounded. 16. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
  • Page 9 LPP PetRoL GeNset oPeRAtoRs' hANdbook 22. To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler or other engine or generator surfaces which became hot during operation. 23. Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper instructions.
  • Page 10 LPP PetRoL GeNset oPeRAtoRs' hANdbook LeAkAGe CURReNt One of the most important checks to be sure a tool is safe is for excessive leakage current. Leakage current flows from the internal wiring to metal portions of the equipment housing or enclosure. The skin offers a barrier to the flow of leakage current.

    LPP PetRoL GeNset oPeRAtoRs' hANdbook seLeCtING A GeNeRAtoR WAttAGe CALCULAtIoN The biggest problem in selecting a generator is determining the power requirements that must be met under operating conditions. Under-sizing of the generator is the single most common mistake and can be avoided by considering all the loads to be connected to the generator.

    LPP PetRoL GeNset oPeRAtoRs' hANdbook oPeRAtING VoLtAGe CAUtIoN Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into the generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 2 Hz for frequency variation from the nameplate ratings.

  • Page 16: Installation

    LPP PetRoL GeNset oPeRAtoRs' hANdbook INstALLAtIoN WARNING To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage, a registered electrician or an authorized service representative should perform installation and all service. Under no circumstances should an unqualified person attempt to wire into a utility circuit. To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the residence electrical system is required.
  • Page 17 LPP PetRoL GeNset oPeRAtoRs' hANdbook WARNING To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the residence electrical system is required. Before temporary connection of a generator to the residence electrical system turn off the main switch. Before making permanent connections a double throw transfer switch must be installed. To avoid electrocution or property damage, only a trained electrician should connect generator to the residence electrical system.
