Generator Use; Special Requirements - Energizer EZG Serie Guide Utilisateur

6) Ground Terminal
The generator ground terminal is connected to the panel of the generator, the metal non-current carrying parts of
the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the
intended use of the generator.
7) Oil Alert System
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase.
Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the
engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). The oil alert system shuts down the engine and the
engine will not start. If this occurs, first-check engine oil.

4. GENERATOR USE

1) Connections to a Building's Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The
connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes.
WARNING
Improper connections to a building's electrical system, can allow electrical current from the generator to feedback
into the utility lines. Such feedback may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during
a power outage. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.
CAUTION
Improper connections to a building's electrical system can allow electrical current from the utility company to
feedback into the generator. When utility power is restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the
building's electrical system.
2) Ground System
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy
wire between the ground terminal and the ground source. The generators have a system ground that connects
generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is not
connected to the AC neutral wire.
If the generator is tested by a receptacle tester, it will not show the same ground circuit condition as for a home
receptacle.

Special Requirements

There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
• In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.
• If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations which must be observed.
