INSTALLATION
•
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment
damage, a registered electrician or an authorized
service representative should perform installation and
all service. Under no circumstances should an
unqualified person attempt to wire into a utility
circuit.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the
residence electrical system is required.
Before temporary connection of the generator to the residence
electrical system, turn off the main service/disconnect.
If your generator is to be used as a stand-by power source in
case of utility power failure, it should be installed by a registered
electrician and in compliance with all applicable local electrical
codes.
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be
installed by a licensed qualified electrician so that the building's
electrical circuits may be safely switched between utility power and
the generator's output, thereby preventing backfeed into the power
utility's electrical system.
•

the residence electrical system before connecting a
generator to residence electrical systems. Temporary
connection not recommended due to backfeeding.

BEFORE OPERATION
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that this product be
properly connected to an appropriate earth ground to help prevent
electric shock. A ground terminal connected to the frame of the
generator has been provided for this purpose. Connecting a length of
heavy gauge (12 AWG min.) copper wire between the generator
Ground Terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground should
provide a suitable ground connection. However, consult with a local
electrician to insure that local codes are being adhered to.
