2.4 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR
See the "To Start the Engine" section for how to safely start and
stop the generator and how to connect and disconnect loads. If
there are any problems operating the generator, please call the
generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.
Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER
use in the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed
areas such as garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are
open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open windows,
doors, vents, and in an area that will not accumulate
deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which can you cannot see or smell. This poisonous
gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness or even death.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating
air is critical to correct generator operation. Do not
alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of
ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator. The generator MUST be
operated outdoors.
This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do
nothing that might render the exhaust system unsafe
or in noncompliance with any local codes and/or
standards.
Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm
indoors, installed according to the manufacturers
instructions.

2.4.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR WHEN USED AS A
PORTABLE
This generator has an equipment ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC
output receptacles (see NEC 250.34 (A) for explanation). This
allows the generator to be used as a portable without grounding
the frame of the generator as specified in NEC 250.34.
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.
2.4.2 CONNECTING THE GENERATOR TO A BUILDING'S
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When connecting directly to a building's electrical system, it is
recommended that a manual transfer switch is used. Connections for
a portable generator to a building's electrical system must be made by
a qualified electrician and in strict compliance with all national and local
electrical codes and laws.
