Generator Use
Connections 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, and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the
generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a power cut. Consult the utility company or a
qualified electrician.
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the
utility company to back feed into the generator. When utility power is restored, the generator
may explode, burn, or cause fires in the building’s electrical system.
Generator Earth Circuits
Portable generators have a system earth that connects the generator frame components to
the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles.
The system earth is not connected to the AC neutral wire.
The earth terminal can be used to earth the generator or bond the frame of the generator
to the frame of a vehicle, but only if it is required by local law or electrical code. Before using
the earth terminal consult a qualified electrician or electrical inspector for regulations.
Maintenance
Periodic maintenance and adjustment is necessary to keep the generator in good operating
condition. Perform the service and inspection at the intervals shown in the Maintenance
Schedule below.
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Shut off the engine before performing any
maintenance. If the engine must be run, make sure the area is well ventilated.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
(1) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas.
(2) These items should be serviced by an authorised agent. Contact the helpline.
(3) For frequent use, log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance
intervals.
