Place the generator at least 10 feet away from buildings or other
equipment during operation.
Run the generator on a level surface. Tilting the generator may result in
fuel spills.
Know how to stop the generator quickly and understand operation of
all the controls. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without
proper instructions.
Keep children, pets and machinery with rotating parts away during
operation.
Do not operate the generator in rain or snow.
Do not allow any moisture to come in contact with the generator.
Do not touch the spark plug while the engine is operating or shortly after
the engine has been shut down.
1.2 AC SAFETY
WARNING!
Before connecting the generator to an electrical device or power cord:
Make sure that everything is in proper working order. Faulty devices or
power cords can lead to an electrical shock.
Turn off the generator immediately if the device begins to operate
abnormally. Then disconnect the device and investigate the problem.
To prolong engine life, make sure that the combined load of your
devices does not exceed the rated running wattage of the generator.
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must
be done by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable
laws and electrical codes. Improper connections may cause serious
injuries to electrical workers during a power outage, and when the
utility power is restored, the generator may explode or cause fires. The
generator shall be connected through transfer equipment that switches
all conductors other than the equipment grounding conductor. The
frame of the generator must be connected to an approved grounding
electrode.
BG6250E, BG11500E, BG11500DE and BG13000TE are neutral bonded
to frame. There is a permanent conductor between the generator (stator
winding) and the frame.
BG4650E is floating neutral. The generator (stator winding) is isolated
from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin.
Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will
