INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

1.

2.

The earth ground connection should be completed by a licensed electrician.

3.

Any separate fuel storage or Generator supply facility must be built or installed in

full compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.

5.

If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and should be

soundproofed.  It should not be run outdoors without protection to the Generator

and wiring conduit.

6.

 Two or more people should assist when moving or lifting this product.  Never lift the

Generator using the engine or alternator lifting lugs. Connect lifting equipment

 to the Frame of the Generator.

7.

Before lifting the Generator, ensure the lift rigging and supporting structure are in

good condition, and are rated to lift such a load.

8.

Keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during relocating.

Warning: Never connect this generator to your house or any other structures 

wiring. 

This unit is not designed to be used as a standby generator to be wired to 

your electrical panel. It is designed to be used to provide power to either 120V or 

240V electrical devices by plugging the device into the generator. Failure to 

follow these instructions could lead to damage to appliances and the structures 

wiring that it is connected to.

4.

It is recommended to use the Generator only in well ventilated out-

door areas.  A running gasoline engine will generate Carbon Monox-

ide, a colorless, odorless gas that, if inhaled, can cause serious injury

or death.  

                   Generator exhaust fumes must be within legal limits and 

installation must always meet local building codes.
