2.3 HOW TOUSETHEGENERATOR

Never operatein an enclosedareaor indoors!NEVERuse in

the home,in a vehicle, 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 a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is

a poison you cannot see or smell,

NEVER use insidea home

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 grounding rod (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 in damageto 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.
