2.3 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR
If there are any problems operating the generator, please contact the local dealer.
DANGER!
Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a ve-
hicle, or in partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN IF doors and windows
are open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in
an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or
smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed in su󰀩cient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness or even death.
Adequate, unobstructed ow of cooling and ventilating air is critical to correct
generator operation. Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage
of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously a󰀨ect safe operation of the gener-
ator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors.
This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing that might render
the exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance with any local codes and/or
standards.
Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors, installed accord-
ing to the manufacturers instructions.
2.3.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR WHEN USED AS A PORTABLE
The generator must be properly grounded before use. Have the unit grounded by a quali-
ed electrician if you are not qualied to do so.
To ground the generator, connect a 2.5 sqmm grounding wire (not included) from the
grounding terminal on the control panel to a grounding rod (not included) that has been
driven at least 24 inches earth-driven deep into the earth. The grounding rod must be an
copper or brass rod (electrode) which can adequately ground the generator.
