2 — Warnings and Cautions
to large cubic airflow requirements, exhaust temperature, and
velocity. Do not point exhaust at any nearby surface or object
that may be adversely affected by high temperature. This in-
cludes but is not limited to painted surfaces, tar paper and
asphalt roofs, water sprinkler heads, fire alarms, and volatile
material.
• Do not use in confined spaces. The load bank may have to
compete with cooling air requirements of a nearby running
engine generator set where cooling air intake to a confined
space may not be adequate for both engine and load bank.
Be especially careful not to bounce hot exhaust air off nearby
obstructions for re-circulation through the load bank.
• Verify that all control switch positions are set correctly for
your intended usage before connecting the load bank to the
source to be tested.
• The load cables carry high amperage. Be constantly aware of
possibility of inductively heating adjacent ferrous objects to
temperatures sufficient to damage cable insulation.
• Always connect the safety ground cable to a proper ground.
Do not rely on a possible grounded neutral somewhere else
in the system.
• Routinely inspect all components and electrical connections
for tightness and integrity.
• Repair any damaged or degraded components and wiring
without delay.
• If technical assistance, service, or parts are needed, please call
800-837-8603 (24 Hours).
• All hardware covered by this manual have dangerous elec-
trical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid
contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc. Ensure
all appropriate covers, guards, grounds, and barriers are in
place before operating the equipment. If work must be done
around an operating unit, stand on an insulated dry surface
to reduce the risk of electrocution.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing
in water, while barefoot, or while your hands or feet are wet.
• If people must stand on metal or concrete while installing,
servicing, adjusting, or repairing this equipment, place insu-
lative mats over a dry wooden platform. Work on the equip-
ment only while standing on such insulative mats.
• The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250 requires the
frame to be connected to an approved earth ground and/or
grounding rods. This grounding will help prevent dangerous
electrical shock that might be caused by a ground fault condi-
tion or by static electricity. Never disconnect the ground wire
