OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Connections to a Building Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply
with all applicable laws and electrical codes. A transfer switch, which isolates generator power
from utility power, is prerequisite.
WARNING:
tility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator
may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restImproper connections to a building
electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines.
Such back feed may electrocute uored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.
Connection Notes
Avoid connecting the genetor to commercial power outlets
。
This is a single phase generator only
。
Avoid connecting the generator in parallel with any other generator
。
Ground System
The portable generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the
ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral
wire.
Make sure you connect a proper ground (earth) to the generator.
You should use the ground
terminal on the front panel of the generator and a stake at the end of uncovered copper ground
wire driven into soil.This completes a safe natural ground circuit.

efore connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for
electrical shock.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off
immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the
rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
