Generator Use - Kipor SINEMASTER IG1000 Operation Manual

6. GENERATOR USE

■To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator
should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the
generator's ground terminal and an external ground source.
■ 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 back feed into the utility
lines. Such back feed 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.
■Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
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 connect the generator to an automatic transfer switch.
Severe damage to the generator and engine will result.
■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 generators in parallel.
● 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.
■Limit length of extension cables; 60 m for cables if 1.5mm2 and
100m for cables of 2.5 mm2.
■Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as
commercial power supply lines.
