elecTrical saFeTY
danger
do noT
touch output terminals during
operation. Contact with output terminals
during operation can cause
electrocution,
electrical shock or burn.
The electrical voltage required to
operate the generator can cause severe
injury or even death through physical contact with live
circuits. Turn generator and all circuit breakers
oFF
before performing maintenance on the generator or
making contact with output terminals.
never
insert any objects into the output
receptacles during operation. This is
extremely dangerous. The possibility exists
of
electrical shock, electrocution or
death.
Backfeed to a utility system can cause
electrocution
and/or property damage.
never
connect the generator to a
building’s electrical system without
a transfer switch or other approved
device. All installations should be
performed by a
licensed electrician
in accordance with
all applicable laws and electrical codes. Failure to do so
could result in electrical shock or burn, causing
serious
injury or even death.
power cord/cable safety
danger

worn
cables or cords when
connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in
the insulation.
never
grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of
electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Make sure power cables are securely connected to the
