100520 - 8750W PORTABLE INVERTER GENERATOR
OPERATION
19
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will become
hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied,
or if the generator is blocked or enclosed, temperatures can
become extremely heated and may lead to fire.
Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable
appliances use components that are designed to operate within a
narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage
fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations,
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
–
Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-duration
voltage fluctuations.
