A power line conditioner should be used when running
one or more of the following solid state items:
Garage door openers
Kitchen appliances with digital displays
Televisions
Stereos
Personal computers
Quartz clocks
Copy machines
Telephone equipment
Other solid state equipment may require a power line
conditioner. For more information, contact our Customer
Service Department at 1-800-445-1805.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the
residence electrical system is required.
Before temporary connection of the generator to the
residence electrical system, turn off the main
service/disconnect.
If your generator is to be used as a stand-by power source
in case of utility power failure, it should be installed by a
registered electrician and in compliance with all applicable
local electrical codes.
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be
installed by a licensed qualified electrician so that the
building's electrical circuits may be safely switched between
utility power and the generator's output, thereby preventing
backfeed into the power utility's electrical system.
Always follow local codes and regulations that apply to
the installation of any item that concerns this product.
1. NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code.
2. NFPA 37 - Standard for Installation and Use of
Stationary Combustible Engines.
3. Agricultural Wiring handbook of Farm Standby
Electric Power.

OPERATING VOLTAGE
CAUTION: Operating voltage and frequency
requirement of all electronic equipment should be
checked prior to plugging them into this generator.
Damage may result if the equipment is not designed
to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/-
3 hz frequency variation from the generator name
plate ratings. To avoid damage, always have an
additional load plugged into the generator if solid
state equipment (such as a television set) is used. A
power line conditioner is recommended for some solid
state applications.
INSTALLATION
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment
damage, a registered electrician or an authorized
service representative should perform installation and
all service. Under no circumstances should an
unqualified person attempt to wire into a utility
circuit.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of
the residence electrical system is required. Before
temporary connection of a generator to the residence
electrical system turn off the main switch. Before
making permanent connections a double throw
transfer switch must be installed. To avoid
electrocution or property damage, only a trained
electrician should connect generator to residence
electrical system. California law requires isolation of
the residence electrical system before connecting a
generator to residence electrical systems. Temporary
connection not recommended due to backfeeding.
