ELECTRIC GENERATOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
When System is operating, lethal voltage is present!
1. The generator produces electrical current. Improper use can result in electrocution, injury or death.
Only a qualified technician should service or repair this generator.
2. The generator was designed to be used in a dry area. Use extreme caution when operating the
System in rain, snow, sleet, or damp conditions. Operating the System in such conditions is NEVER
recommended or encouraged. Moisture can carry electrical current and could cause electrocution.
3. If the generator is connected to a building, home, business, or any other electrical circuit normally
fed by utility power, steps must be taken to ensure that the generator output and the utility power
are isolated. Failure to isolate the systems could result in personal injury or death to those working
around these circuits. Any connection in this regard must only be done in accordance with NEC or
the locally applicable Electrical Code.
4. Do not exceed the generator's rated capacity. The total electrical loads must be added to determine
the total electrical load. If the electrical appliance does not list the wattage rating, you can calculate
it by multiplying amps times voltage (amps x voltage = watts).
5. Do not tamper with the drive engine-governed speed. The generator is designed to operate at a set
speed. Changing this speed will change the output voltage and frequency. Increases in speed will
damage rotating parts of the generator. Slower speeds may damage the generator or appliances
connected to the generator due to low voltage.
6. Always follow national and local safety codes.
7. Do not start or stop the System with equipment connected and turned on.
8. Do not operate your Real Power equipped vehicle in an enclosed area due to the carbon monoxide
fumes produced. The fumes are colorless and odorless and are deadly.
9. Never handle electrical equipment or cords while standing in water.
10.
Only use 3-prong, grounded extension cords.
11.
Keep fingers, hands, cords and other loose items away from the spinning shafts and pulleys that are
rotating under your Real Power equipped vehicle.
12.
Never refuel or add fuel to your vehicle or remove the fuel cap whenever the System is operating.
13.
Read, understand, and follow all safety precautions in your vehicle owner’s manual prior to running
the System.
COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION PREVAIL
The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors that cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
