Electrical Precautions:
1.
All connections and conduits from the Generator to the load must only be installed
by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state,
and federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable.
2.
The Generator must be properly earth-grounded by a licensed electrician in
accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation.
3.
If an extension cord (not included) is used, make sure to use only UL
®
approved
cords having the correct gauge and length. (See Figure A.)

4.
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in water,
or on wet or soggy ground.
5.
Do not touch electrically energized parts of the Generator and interconnecting cables
or conductors with any part of the body, or with any non-insulated
conductive object.
6.
Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (120 volt and 240 volt) that
is compatible with the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the Generator.
7.
Before servicing equipment powered by the Generator, disconnect the equipment
from its power input.
8.
Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation
is cracked, cut, abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn,
discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean and tight.
9.
Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
10.
Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
