5) CIRCUIT BREAKER
The circuit breaker will automatically
switch OFF if there is a short circuit
or a significant overload of the
generator at the receptacle.
If the circuit breaker is switched
OFF automatically, check that
the appliance is working properly
and does not exceed the rated
load capacity of the circuit before
switching the circuit breaker ON
again.
The circuit breaker may be used to
switch generator power On or OFF.
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
26
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.
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.
3) AC APPLICATIONS
Before connecting an appliance or
power cord to the generator:
• Make sure that it is in good working
order. Faulty appliances or power
cords can create a potential for
electrical shock.
