100899 - 2500W DUAL FUEL INvERTER GENERATOR

OPERATION

18

 

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 Specifications section for specified type of grounding.

OPERATION

Generator Location

 

WARNING

NEVER operate the generator inside any building, garage, 
basement, crawlspace, shed, enclosure or compartment, 
including a generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.

NEVER operate or start the generator in the back of an 
SUV, camper, trailer, truck bed (regular sides, flat or other 
configuration), under staircases, stairwells, next to walls 
or buildings or in any other location that will not allow for 
adequate cooling of the generator or for the proper exit of the 
exhaust flow from the muffler system.

DO NOT operate or store the generator in wet weather 
conditions such as rain or snow. Using a generator in wet 
conditions could result in serious injury or death due to 
electrocution.

In some state’s generators may be required to be registered 
with the local utility company when used at construction sites 
and may be subject to additional rules and regulations, consult 
your local municipal authority.

Generators should always be operated on a flat, level surface 
at all times (even when not in operation).

Generators must have a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) of 
clearance from all combustible material. 

Generators must also have a minimum of 3 feet (91.4 cm) 
of air flow clearance on all sides to allow for adequate 
performance cooling, maintenance and servicing. 

Always place the generator in a well-ventilated area. NEVER 
place the generator near air intake vents or where exhaust 
fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.  

Always carefully consider wind and air currents when 
positioning generator. 

Always allow generators to properly cool before transport or 
for storage purposes. 

Failure to follow proper safety precautions may result in 
personal injury, damage to the generator and void the 
manufacturer’s warranty.
