GENERATOR USE

Be sure to ground the generator when the connected equipment is
grounded.
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must
be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable
laws and electrical codes. Improper connections can allow electrical
current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such
backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who
contact the lines during a power outage, and when utility power is
restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the
building's electrical system.
GROUND TERMINAL
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power (see page
48 ).
In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be
considered.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could
cause the damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the
house.
Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is
intended for. Also observe the following when using the generator.
Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber
sheathed flexible cable (IEC 245 or equivalent).
Limit length of extension cables; 60 m for cables of 1.5 mm and 100
m for cables of 2.5 mm . Long extension cables will lower usable
power due to resistance in the extension cable.
Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as
commercial power supply lines.
