In some areas, generators are required by law to be registered with local utility
companies. Check local regulations for proper registration and use procedures.
System ground
DUCAR
portable generators have a system ground that connects the generator's
ground terminals to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system
ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire. If the generator is tested with a
receptacle tester, it will not show the same ground circuit condition as for a home
receptacle.
Special requirements
Keep all cooling holes open and clear of debris, mud, water, etc. Cooling holes are
located on the front panel, rear panel, and the bottom of the generator. If the cooling
holes are blocked, the generator may overheat and damage the engine, inverter, or
windings.
Do not lay the generator on its side when moving, storing, or operating it. Oil may
leakand damage the engine or your property.
In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.
If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations that
must be observed.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Improper connections to a building's electrical system can allow current from the
generator to backfeed into the utility lines.
Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the
prior to making any power connections.
