EXTENSION CORDS
Use of under sized extension cords can cause electric shock, fire, or damage to connected devices.
All extension and appliance cords must be in good condition and not worn, bare, frayed, or otherwise
damaged.
Use of damaged electric cords can cause electric shock or fire. Note: If an extension cord becomes
hot to the touch, it is overloaded or damaged and must be replaced. ITM is NOT responsible for
damage or injury resulting from customer use of inadequate extension cords.
WARNING
!
!
This generator is fitted with a MEN link cable, the neutral is internally bonded to the generator earth.
When a licensed electrician is installing the generator to a building to be used as backup power
the MEN must be removed. The MEN link is located is underneath the alternator end cap which is
labeled to indicate its location. The MEN link cable clearly labeled as “MEN Link”.
Extension cords may be used to power devices that are located at a distance from the generator.
However, use only Australian approved outdoor - rated, grounded extension cords. Locate the generator
in a convenient place and where possible avoid long extension leads and possible damage to leads by
pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
Extension leads should be heavy duty with at least 1mm, of appropriate current rating and in any case
not less than 1mm cross-section of conductor and must incorporate an earthing conductor to ensure that
there is no voltage difference between the generator set and any equipment powered by the generator.
The electrical continuity of the ‘earthing’ core should be checked periodically from pin to socket to
ensure continued electrical safety. Some electrical appliances, e.g. portable drills, are marked or ‘double
insulated’, in which case there should not be an earthing conductor in its mains lead (even though it may
have a three-pin plug).
