2.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY/OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
(cont’d)
•
GROUNDING
: The National Electrical code requires that the generator frame be properly
grounded to earth. A ground location is located on the front cross member on the bottom of
the frame. As a general guideline, a 10 AWG wire connected to the ground bolt on the
generator frame on one end (located on the bottom front cross-member of the frame as
indicated by the International “GROUND” symbol.) and connected to a copper or brass
ground rod (driven into the ground) on the other end of the wire. Some locations require
generator set or other grounding. Check with a local electrician to determine the grounding
requirements for your area.
•
Electrical generators produce electricity. Therefore,
never allow or perform service
operations to your generator set without proper training/certification
. Service
operations, without proper precautions can cause severe shock and even death by
electrocution.
•
Use only 3-Prong extension cords in good condition.
Ensure that the extension cord’s wire
gauge is of sufficient size to minimize voltage drop
.
•
Never handle extension cords or electrical circuits if standing in water or a damp area
.
•
Operate, service or fill with fluids on a level surface only
.
•
Do not operate this generator in a corrosive or flammable environment
.
•
Never clean this generator with high-pressure water or a garden hose
. Water can
accumulate within the generator and cause fuel system, ignition system and or
electrical problems or shorts. Cleaning should be done with a damp rag on a cool generator
set.
3. OPERATION
3.1 GENERATOR PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
The generator is designed to produce electrical energy for the purpose of powering lights, power
tools, appliances and motor loads within the intended design constraints of the generator. The
generator is designed to produce single-phase electrical power at 120 VAC or 120/240 VAC. This
generator is not intended for installation in RV or motor home applications. The performance
specifications of the generator are shown in Table 1.
