Product Manual

Note:
Regardless of whether you use your generator as a back-up power
source connected to a building or as a portable power source, you
MUST NOT overload the generator. Overloading may cause serious
damage to the generator and attached electrical devices.
If your generator will be connected to your building’s system, it MUST
ALWAYS BE isolated from the utility power grid with an approved transfer
switch installed by a licensed electrician, in compliance with all applicable
building and electrical codes and in accordance with the guidelines
supplied by the power company.
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes or ordinances that apply to
the intended use of the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspection or the
local agency having jurisdiction.
In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local
utility companies. If the generator is used at a construction site,
there may be additional requirements that must be observed.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
Standard generators are protected by electrical separators. This equipment
has a thermic protection device and/or magnet-to-thermic device to
protect against a surge of current, overloading and short-circuiting. In these
cases, the generator should under NO circumstances, be earthed using the
terminal “PE” or with any other part of the generator.
