• Attempting to connect to the
incoming utility service could
result in electrocution.
• Restoration of electrical service
while the generator is connect-
ed to the incoming utility could
result in a fire or serious dam-
age if a double throw transfer
switch is not installed.
• Failure to use a double throw
transfer switch when connecting
to a structure's electrical system
can damage appliances and
WILL VOID the manufacturer's
warranty
.
• To connect to a structure's elec
-
trical system in a safe manner,
always have a double-throw
transfer switch installed by a
qualified electrician and in com-
pliance with local ordinances.
(When installing a double-throw
transfer switch, a minimum of
10 gauge wiring must be used.)
• Water can conduct electricity!
Water which comes in contact
with electrically charged com-
ponents can transmit electricity
to the frame and other surfaces,
resulting in electrical shock to
anyone contacting them.
• Operate generator in a clean,
dry, well ventilated area. Make
sure hands are dry before
touching unit.
• Contact with worn or damaged
extension cords could result in
electrocution.
• Inspect extension cords before
use and replace with new cord
if required.
• Use of undersize extension
cord(s) could result in overheat-
ing of the wires or attached
items, resulting in fire.
• Use proper size (wire gauge)
extension cord(s) for applica-
tion; see
use of Extension
Cords
under
Assembly.
• Use of ungrounded extension
cord(s) could prevent operation
of circuit breakers and result in
electrical shock.
• Always use an extension
cord(s) having a grounding wire
with an appropriate ground-
ing plug. DO NOT use an
ungrounded plug.
• Accidental leakage of electrical
current could charge conduc-
tive surfaces in contact with the
generator.
• Place generator on low con
-
ductivity surface such as a
concrete slab. ALWAYS oper-
ate generator a minimum of
6' (1.8 m) from any conductive
surface.
• Exceeding the load capacity
of the generator by attach-
ing too many items, or items
with very high load ratings to
it could result in overheating
of some items or their attach-
ment wiring resulting in fire or
electrical shock.
• See
operating Heavy loads
under
Operation
. Make sure
that the summation of electrical
loads for all attachments does
not exceed the load rating of
the generator.
• Attempting to use the unit
when it has been damaged,
or when it is not functioning
normally could result in fire or
electrocution.
• Do not operate generator with
mechanical or electrical prob-
lem. Contact a D
e
WALT factory
service center or a D
e
WALT
authorized service center.
• Removal of guarding could
expose electrically charged
components and result in
electrocution.
• Do not operate generator with
protective guarding removed.
