FAILURE TO ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM THE NORMAL POWER UTILITY CAN
CAUSE POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGE TO BACKFEED INTO THE UTILITY LINES.
THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR ELECTROCUTION OF UTILITY WORKERS NEARBY.
MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR IS ISOLATED BY A TRANSFER SWITCH FROM ANY
LOCAL UTILITY LINES. THIS ALSO APPLIES IF THE GENERATOR IS BEING USED AS
A BACK UP TO SOME OTHER TYPE OF POWER SUPPLY.
Installation of a transfer switch or other type of remote starting device is the responsibility of the generator user.
Installation of such devices must be performed by following all directions supplied by the manufacturer of the switch.
If attaching generator to a power supply normally serviced by a utility company, notify the utility company and check
local and state regulations. Familiarize yourself with all instructions and warning labels supplied with the switch.
WARNING
It is strongly recommended that ONLY a licensed electrician perform any wiring and
any related connections to the generator. Installation should be in compliance of the
National Electric Code (NEC) as well as any state or local codes or regulations. Failure
to follow these procedures could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
Before any connections are attempted, make sure the main circuit breaker and the
engine start switch are in the OFF “O” position and that the negative (-) battery cable
has been disconnected from the engine starting battery.
When using the generator as a standby or substitute power supply, make sure the output
voltage and phase rotation of the generator match those of the local power utility. Improper
voltage or phase rotation may cause equipment damage or malfunction.
