4.6 GROUND TERMINAL
The generator ground terminal is connected to the panel of the generator, the metal non-current
carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. Before using the
ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local agency having
jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
4.7 OIL ALERT SYSTEM
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil
in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the oil alert
system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position).
The oil alert system shuts down the engine and the engine will not start. If this occurs, check
engine oil.
5. GENERATOR USE
5.1 CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING
’
S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Connections for standby power to a building's 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.
WARNING
Improper connections to a building's electrical system, can allow electrical current from the
generator to feedback into the utility lines. Such feedback may electrocute utility company workers
or others who contact the lines during a power outage. Consult the utility company or a qualified
electrician.
CAUTION
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the utility
company to feedback into the generator. When utility power is restored, the generator may
explode, burn, or cause fires in the building’s electrical system.
5.2 GROUND SYSTEM
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a
length of heavy wire between the ground terminal and the ground source. The 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.
If the generator is tested by a receptacle tester, it will not show the same ground circuit condition
as for a home receptacle.
