Electric Generator Operator's Manual

4- ENG
A04669
Operation of unit
when damaged,
or with guards or
panels removed.
Removal of guarding could
expose electrically charged
components and result in
electrocution.
Do not operate generator with pro-
tective guarding removed.
Improper
connection of
items to
generator.
Exceeding the load capacity of
the generator by attaching too
many items, or items with very
high load ratings to it could
result in overheating of some
items or their attachment wiring
resulting in fire or electrical
shock.
Attempting to use the unit
when it has been damaged, or
when it is not functioning
normally could result in fire or
electrocution.
Read the load rating chart and in-
structions in the Wattage Calcula-
tion section. Make sure that the
summation of electrical loads for all
attachments does not exceed the
load rating of the generator.
Do not operate generator with me-
chanical or electrical problem. Have
unit repaired by an Authorized Ser-
vice Center.
Use of worn,
damaged, under-
sized or un-
grounded exten-
sion cords.
Use of ungrounded cordsets
could prevent operation of
circuit breakers and result in
electrical shock.
Always use a cordset having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. DO NOT use an un-
grounded plug.
Use proper size (wire gauge)
cordset for application see chart in
the Assembly section of this
manual.
Contact with worn or damaged
extension cords could result in
electrocution.
Use of undersize extension
cords could result in overheating
of the wires or attached items,
resulting in fire.
Inspect extension cords before use
and replace with new cord if re-
quired.
Placing generator
on or against
highly conductive
surface, such as a
steel walkway or
metal roof.
Place generator on low conductivi-
ty surface such as a concrete slab.
Accidental leakage of electrical
current could charge conductive
surfaces in contact with the
generator.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE
(Continued)
HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
ALWAYS operate generator a mini-
mum of six feet from any conduc-
tive surface.
