DANGER
ELECTROCUTION. NEVER CONNECT THIS UNIT TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF
ANY BUILDING UNLESS A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN HAS INSTALLED AN APPROVED
TRANSFER SWITCH. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY. (000150)
Electrical Connections
Class-1 wiring methods must be used for field wiring connections to terminals of class 2 circuits. It is the responsibility
of the owner/operator to arrange for these procedures to be performed by a licensed electrical contractor and ensure
conformance to all applicable codes, including local codes specific to your municipality/city/county and state. Wire
size and insulation type should be as required by National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes.
WARNING
Never connect this generator to the electrical system of any building unless a licensed
electrician has installed an approved transfer switch. The National Electrical Code
(NEC) requires that connection of a generator to any electrical circuit normally
powered by means of an electric utility must be connected by means of approved
transfer switch equipment to isolate the electrical circuit from the utility distribution
system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by
such means may result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of
electrical energy onto the utility lines.
WARNING
Incorrect installation of this generator set could result in property damage, injury or
death. Connection of the generator to its fuel source must be done by a qualified
professional technician or contractor.
WARNING
Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC
power before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause
serious or fatal injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces
(metal parts) be connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may also require
proper grounding of generator systems.
