GENERATOR SAFETY
12
• Improper connections to a building's electrical
system can allow current from the generator to
backfeed into the utility lines.
Such backfeed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a
power outage, and the generator may explode,
burn, or cause fires when utility power is
restored.
Consult the utility company or a qualified
electrician prior to making any power
connections.
• A hot exhaust system can cause serious burns.
Avoid contact if the engine has been running.
