the home,in avehicle, or in partlyenclosed areas suchas
garages,EVENIF doorsand windows are open! ONLYuse
outdoors and far from open windows,doors,vents,and inan
area thatwill not accumulate deadly exhaust.
Using agenerator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is
apoison you cannot see or smell,
NEVER use insideahome
or garage, EVEN IF doors
and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and
far away from windows,
doors, and vents.
If thereare any problems operatingthe generator,pleasecall the
generatorhelplineat 1-888-436-3722.
2.3.1 GROUNDINGTHEGENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductiveparts of this generator be
properlyconnectedto an approved earth ground (Figure g).
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. Forthat purpose,connectinga No. 10 AWG(AmericanWire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an
earth-driven copper or brass groundingrod (electrode) provides
adequateprotectionagainstelectricalshock. However,localcodes
may vary widely. Consultwith a localelectrician for grounding
requirementsin the area.

Figure g - Grounding the Generator
Propergroundingof the generatorwill help preventelectrical
shockin the event of a ground fault condition in the generator
or in connectedelectrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded
devices.
2.3.2 SYSTEMGROUND
Thegeneratorhas a system groundthat connectsthe generator
frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output
receptacles.Thesystem groundis bondedto the AC neutralwire
in the generatorcontrol panelvia a jumperwire.
SpecialRequirements
There may be Federalor State OccupationalSafety and Health
Administration(OSHA)regulations,localcodes,or ordinancesthat
applyto the intendeduse ofthe generator.
Pleaseconsult a qualified electrician,electrical inspector, or the
local agencyhavingjurisdiction:
,, In some areas, generators are requiredto be registeredwith
local utilitycompanies.
*If the generatoris used at a construction site, there may be
additionalregulationswhich must be observed.
ConnectingtoaBuiiding'sElectricalSystem
Oonnectionsfor standby power to a building's electricalsystem
must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must
isolatethe generatorpower from utility poweror otheralternative
powersourcesand must complywith all relatedlaws andcodes.

2.3.3 CONNECTINGELECTRICALLOADS
DONOTconnect240 Volt loadsto 120 Volt receptacles.DONOT
connect 3-phaseloads to the generator.DONOTconnect 50 Hz
loadsto the generator.
•Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
•Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AO, single
phase,60 Hzelectricalloads.
•Add up the ratedwatts (or amps) of all loadsto be connected
at onetime. This total should not be greaterthan (a)the rated
wattage/amperagecapacity of the generator or (b) circuit
breakerratingof thereceptaclesupplyingthe power.See"Don't
OverloadtheGenerator".
2.4 DON'TOVERLOADTHEGENERATOR
Overloadinga generatorin excess of its ratedwattage capacity
can result indamageto the generatorandto connectedelectrical
devices.Observethefollowing to preventoverloadingthe unit:
•Addupthetotal wattageofall electricaldevicesto be connected
at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the
generator'swattagecapacity.
•The ratedwattageof lights can betaken from light bulbs. The
ratedwattageof tools, appliancesand motors can usually be
foundon a datalabelor decalaffixedto the device.
•If the appliance,tool or motor does not give wattage,multiply
voltstimes ampereratingto determinewatts (voltsx amps =
watts).
•Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about
threetimes morewatts of powerfor startingthan for running.
This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting
suchmotors. Makesureto allowfor high startingwattagewhen
selectingelectricaldevicesto connectto the generator:
1. Figurethe watts neededto start the largestmotor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.
TheWattageReferenceGuideis providedto assist in determining
how many itemsthegeneratorcan operateatonetime.
NOTE:
All figures are approximate. See data label on appliance for
wattage requirements.
