2.4 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR

If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the

generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.

n

Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!

NEVER use in the home, 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.

n

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.

n

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.

n

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.

n

The manufacturer recommends installing

a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm

indoors, according to the manufacturers

instructions.

2.4.1 SYSTEM GROUND

The generator has a system ground that connects the generator

frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output

receptacles. The system ground is bonded to the AC neutral wire

in the generator control panel via a jumper wire.

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.

Connecting 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 or other alternative

power sources and must comply with all applicable laws and

electrical codes.

2.4.2 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

n

The National Electrical Code requires that the

frame and external electrically conductive parts

of this generator be properly connected to an

approved earth ground.

Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of

the unit (Figure 6). For that purpose, connecting a No. 10 AWG

(American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug

and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode)

provides adequate protection against electrical shock. However,

local codes may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for

grounding requirements in the area.

Proper grounding of the generator will help prevent electrical

shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in

connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps dissipate

static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded devices.
