OPERATION
Generator Location
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or
compartment, including the generator compartment of a
recreational vehicle. Please consult your local authority. In
some areas, generators must be registered with the local
utility. Generators used at construction sites may be subject
to additional rules and regulations. Generators should be on
a flat, level surface at all times. (Even while not in operation)
Generators must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from
all combustible material. In addition to clearance from all
combustible material, generators must also have at least 3 ft.
(91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to allow for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing. Generators should never be started
or operated in the back of a SUV, camper, trailer, in the bed of
a truck (regular, flat or otherwise), under staircases/stairwells,
next to walls or buildings, or in any other location that will not
allow for adequate cooling of the generator and/or the muffler.
DO NOT contain generators during operation. Allow generators
to properly cool before transport or storage.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in
carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up in your home
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT place the
generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could
be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider
wind and air currents when positioning generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void
manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow, or wet
weather.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions,
such as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system,
or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution.
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes produced
will become hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space
are not supplied, or if the generator is blocked or contained,
temperatures can become extremely heated and may lead
to fire.
Grounding*
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator has
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
Neutral Floating
–
Neutral circuit
IS NOT
electrically connected to the frame/
ground of the generator.
–
The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame
and from the AC receptacle ground pin.
–
Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin
connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is
not functional.
Neutral Bonded to Frame
–
Neutral circuit
IS
electrically connected to the frame/ground
of the generator.
–
The generator system ground connects lower frame
cross-member below the alternator. The system ground is
connected to the AC neutral wire.
* See your model's control panel for specified type of grounding.
Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many
programmable appliances use components that are designed
to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected
by momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to
prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect
sensitive electronic equipment.
–
Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They’re designed to protect against virtually all short-
duration voltage fluctuations.
Wireless Set Button
The wireless set button is a feature that lets the user sync
remote controls to the generator. One can set up to two remote
controls or reset a remote control with the generator. To reset a
remote control or sync two remote controls follow these steps:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
2. Turn the battery switch to the “ON” position.
3. Push and hold the wireless set button for approximately
three seconds. The red light will turn on.
4. Push and release the STOP button on the remote. The red
light blinks once to erase the remote program.
5. Push and release the START button. The red light blinks
once to program the remote.
6. Push and hold the programming button approximately
three seconds until the red light turns off.
