General Safety - DeWalt DXGN Série Guide D'utilisation

TO AVOID BACKFEEDING INTO
UTILITY SYSTEMS, ISOLATION OF THE RESIDENCE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS REQUIRED. BEFORE
CONNECTION OF A GENERATOR TO THE RESIDENCE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH.
BEFORE MAKING PERMANENT CONNECTIONS A DOUBLE
THROW TRANSFER SWITCH MUST BE INSTALLED. TO
AVOID ELECTROCUTION OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ONLY
A TRAINED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD CONNECT
GENERATOR TO RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES ISOLATION OF THE
RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE CONNECTING
A GENERATOR TO RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.
TEMPORARY CONNECTION NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO
BACKFEEDING.
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS
THAT APPLY TO THE INSTALLATION OF ANY ITEM THAT
CONCERNS THIS PRODUCT.
1. NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code.
2. NFPA 37 - Standard for Installation and Use of
Stationary Combustible Engines.
3. Agricultural Wiring handbook of Farm Standby
Electric Power.
DO NOT MODIFY OR MISAPPLY
YOUR GENERATOR SET. OPERATION OF THE
GENERATOR OTHER THAN INTENDED COULD RESULT IN
GENERATOR SET DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION.
NEVER TOUCH A RECEPTACLE OR
BARE WIRE. ELECTROCUTION OR SHOCK COULD
RESULT.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
ALWAYS INSURE THAT AT LEAST 6
FEET OF CLEARANCE ON ALL SIDES OF THE
GENERATOR ARE MAINTAINED DURING OPERATION.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CLEARANCE COULD
DAMAGE YOUR GENERATOR AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO
FIRES.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
AND ITS VAPORS ARE EXPLOSIVE. FAILURE TO
PROPERLY HANDLE GASOLINE CAN RESULT IN
EXPLOSION OR FIRE. DO NOT PERMIT SMOKING WITHIN
50FT OF THIS GENERATOR SET.
NEVER REFILL A HOT GENERATOR
WITH FUEL. NEVER REFILL THE GENERATOR WHILE IT IS
RUNNING. SPILLAGE ONTO THE ENGINE OR GENERATOR
COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. ALWAYS
ALLOW THE GENERATOR SET TO COOL BEFORE
REFILLING.
DO NOT STORE THIS GENERATOR
SET IN ANY LOCATION WHERE GASOLINE FUMES COULD
POTENTIALLY COME INTO CONTACT WITH SPARKS, A
PILOT LIGHT OR AN OPEN FLAME. IMPROPER STORAGE
OF THIS GENERATOR COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION
OR FIRE.
English
INSPECT THE SPARK ARRESTOR
PERIODICALLY. SPARK ARRESTORS ARE REQUIRED IN
SOME AREAS AND MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FIRE FROM
SPARKS EMMITTED FROM THE EXHAUST.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS
GENERATOR IF THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS
104ºF/40ºC.
DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED
CAPACITY OF THE GENERATOR. THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL
LOADS AT EACH OUTLET MUST BE ADDED TO
DETERMINE THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL LOAD. THE TOTAL
LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE
GENERATOR. IF THE DRIVEN APPARATUS DOES NOT LIST
WATTAGE, BUT ONLY AMPERAGE, WATTAGE MAY BE
DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING AMPERAGE TIMES
VOLTAGE (WATTS = AMPS X VOLTS).

GENERAL SAFETY

Always follow National and Local electrical codes pertaining to
generators. All local and national codes supersede rules or
information provided in this manual.
REFER TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODES TO DETERMINE GROUNDING
REQUIREMENTS AS THIS CAN VARY PER APPLICATION.
THE GENERATOR IS GROUNDED INTERNALLY NEUTRAL
TO FRAME. WHERE APPLICATIONS REQUIRE EXTERNAL
GROUNDING, A CONNECTION MUST BE MADE FROM THE
GENERATOR TO A SOLID EARTH GROUND. A
CONTINUOUS LENGTH OF SPLICE-FREE COPPER CABLE,
NO SMALLER THAN 6 AWG, SHALL BE USED FOR THE
CONDUCTOR.
• When moving or transporting this generator, take proper
precautions to avoid fuel spillage. Further, always use
common sense when lifting this generator. An adequate
number of people and proper lifting methods must be
used.
• Do not cover the generator while it is running or
immediately after shutdown. Always allow time to cool
down before covering.
• Do not operate this generator unless it is in good
mechanical and electrical condition.
• Always keep hands, body parts, hair and clothing well
away from the rotating parts of the generator.
• Do not start this generator with connected devices turned
"ON". Always make sure that connected devices are
disconnected from the generator or turned "OFF" before
starting the generator.
• Generators operating on job or construction sites may be
required to have GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters)
receptacles.
• Use only grounded extension cords in good condition and
make sure that the wire size within the extension cords is
of sufficient size to safely carry the surge output of the
generator.
• Never handle extension cords or electrical circuits if
standing in water or if standing in a damp area.
