ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER
„ NEVER touch the output terminals
during operation. Contact with the
output terminals during operation can
cause electrocution, electrical shock,
or burn.
„ The electrical voltage required to
operate the generator can cause severe injury or even
death through physical contact with live circuits. Turn the
generator and all circuit breakers OFF before performing
maintenance on the generator or making contact with
the output terminals.
„ NEVER insert any objects into the output
receptacles during operation. This is
extremely dangerous. The possibility exists
of electrical shock, electrocution or death.
„ Backfeed to a utility system can cause
electrocution and/or property damage.
NEVER connect the generator to a
building's electrical system without
a transfer switch or other approved
device. All installations should be
performed by a licensed electrician in accordance
with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Failure to
do so could result in electrical shock or burn, causing
serious injury or even death.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
DANGER
„ NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.
„ NEVER stand in water while AC power from the
generator is being transferred to a load.
