6. GENERATOR USE
■
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 an external ground source.
■
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.
■
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
Maximum power is: 2000 VA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is: 1600VA
In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be
considered.
■
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
■
Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could
cause the damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the
house.
■
Do not connect the generator to an automatic transfer switch.
Severe damage to the generator and engine will result.
■
Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is
intended for. Also observe the following when using the generator.
●
Do not connect generators in parallel.
●
Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
■
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber
sheathed flexible cable.
■
Limit length of extension cables; 60 m for cables if 1.5mm
2
and
100m for cables of 2.5 mm
2
.
■
Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as
commercial power supply lines.
■
Keep all cooling holes open and clear of debris, mud, water, etc.
Cooling holes are located on the side panel, the control panel, and the
bottom of the generator. If the cooling holes are blocked, the generator
may overheat and damage the engine, inverter, or windings.
