SAFETY INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER
DO NOT touch output terminals during
operation. Contact with output terminals
during operation can cause electrocution,
electrical shock or burn.
The electrical voltage required to
operate the generator can cause severe injury or even
death through physical contact with live circuits. Turn
generator and all circuit breakers OFF before performing
maintenance on the generator or making contact with
output terminals.
NEVER insert any objects into the output
receptacles during operation. This is
extremely dangerous. The possibility
exists of electrical shock, electrocution
or death.
Backfeed to a utility system can cause
electrocution and/or property damage.
NEVER connect the generator to a
building’s electrical system without
a transfer switch or other approved
device. All installations should be performed by a
licensed electrician in accordance with all applicable
laws and electrical codes. Failure to do so could result
in electrical shock or burn, causing serious injury or
even death.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
DANGER
NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.
NEVER stand in water while AC power from the
generator is being transferred to a load.
NEVER use damaged or worn cables or cords when
connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in
the insulation.
NEVER grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Make sure power cables are securely connected to the
generator’s output receptacles. Incorrect connections
may cause electrical shock and damage to the
generator.
NOTICE
ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job. See Cable Selection
Chart in this manual.
Grounding Safety
DANGER
ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly
grounded to a suitable earth ground (ground rod) per
the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes
before operating generator. Severe injury or death by
electrocution can result from operating an ungrounded
generator.
NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.
