Limitation on Use
m
WARNING!
The generator is not intended for use
in connection with life support systems or other medical
equipment or devices.
Shock or Fire Hazard
m
WARNING!
The generator generates the same
potentially lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet.
Please use it carefully like using a normal AC socket on the
wall.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into generator's AC
outlets, its DC power socket, or the ventilation holes.
• Do not remove the covers on the power DC terminals,
unless connecting cables.
• Do not, under any circumstances, connect the generator's
AC receptacle to power utility AC distribution wiring.
• Failure to follow the above safety instructions may result in
personal injury and/or damage to generator.
Electric Shock Hazard
m
WARNING!
Do not use generator where there are
flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline
powered boat, or near propane tanks.
• Do not use generator in an enclosure containing
automotive-type lead acid batteries. These batteries, unlike
the sealed battery pack in the generator, vent explosive
hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from
electrical connections.
• When working on electrical equipment always ensure
someone is nearby to help you in an emergency.
• NEVER connect the power output into a wall outlet,
a practice known as “backfeeding.” This is extremely
dangerous and presents an electrocution risk to utility
workers and neighbors served by the same utility
transformer. It also bypasses some of the built-in
household circuit protection devices.
• Generators pose a risk of shock and electrocution,
especially if they are operated in wet conditions. Operate
the generator under an open, canopy-like structure on
a dry surface where water cannot reach it or puddle or
drain under it. Dry your hands, if wet, before touching the
generator.
• Connect appliances to the generator using heavy-duty
extension cords that are specifically designed for outdoor
use. Make sure the wattage rating for each cord exceeds
the total wattage of all appliances connected to it. Use
extension cords that are long enough to allow the generator
to be placed outdoors and far away from windows, doors
and vents to the home or to other structures that could
be occupied. Check that the entire length of each cord is
free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs.
Protect the cord from getting pinched or crushed if it
passes through a window or doorway.
• Make sure the generator is properly grounded and placed
in a dry location. If improperly grounded, the entire
generator could become electrically charged and cause
electrocution.
Heat Hazard
m
WARNING!
The generator's internal inverter
components may become uncomfortably warm, reaching
140°F (60°C) during prolonged operation. Ensure at least 6
in. (15 cm) of air space is maintained on all sides and on top
of generator. During operation, keep away from materials
that could be ignited by high temperatures such as blankets,
pillows and sleeping bags, etc.
m
CAUTION!
This system should not be operated in
environments where the ambient air temperature is over 104°F
(40°C).
Precautions for Using Rechargeable
Appliances
m
WARNING!
Most rechargeable battery-operated
equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is
plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage
charging output. Some chargers for small rechargeable
batteries can be damaged if connected to the generator.
Equipment Damage
m
CAUTION!
The generator produces modified sine
wave electricity, which is different from pure sine wave utility-
supplied electricity. Certain types of load equipment may be
damaged by modified sine wave electricity. Some examples
include:
• Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors,
and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC
receptacle to recharge.
• Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen
appliances, and other loads may be damaged.
• Metal halide arc (MHI) lights may be damaged.
