Using The Generator
WARNING: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK FROM FAULTY APPLIANCES, THE GENERATOR
SHOULD BE GROUNDED. CONNECT A LENGTH OF HEAVY WIRE BETWEEN THE
GENERATOR’S GROUND TERMINAL AND EXTERNAL GROUND SOURCE.
WARNING: CONNECTIONS FOR STANDBY POWER TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MUST
BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE
LAWS AND ELECTRICAL CODES. IMPROPER CONNECTIONS CAN ALLOW
ELECTRICAL CURRENT FROM THE GENERATOR TO BACK-FEED INTO THE UTILITY
LINES. SUCH BACK-FEED MAY ELECTROCUTE UTILITY COMPANY WORKERS OR
OTHERS WHO CONTACT THE LINES DURING A POWER OUTAGE, AND WHEN UTILITY
POWER IS RESTORED, THE GENERATOR MAY EXPLODE, BURN, OR CAUSE FIRES IN
THE BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (REFER TO 3-4).
