CAUTION
• Electric generators produce tension
that could be dangerous. If the generator is not insulated
from other electric installations, people using them may
be severely injured or die due to an electric shock.
• The generator shall not be connected
to other energy sources, such as the power supply
company. Under emergency when is strictly necessary to
be connected to those energy sources, only a certified
electrician shall carry out connections taking into account
the differences between the power supply and the
generator technical specifications.
• Protection against electric shock
depends on the circuit breakers are specially
homogenized for the generator. If the circuit breakers
must be replaced, go to a Authorized
Service Center.
• Alternate current connections within
the electric system shall be carried out by a certified
electrician complying with the applicable electric
standards or codes.
• Inadequate connections may
generate an electric discharge towards the outlet lines.
It can electrocute the consumers using the electric circuits
and even third parties that could touch the lines during a
blackout. When electricity is restored, the generator
could explode, burn or cause fires.
• Ground the generator properly before starting up.
• The generator can produce energy and work safely
within the following conditions: altitude lower than
4920 ft, in ambient temperature between 41 °F and
104 °F and with 90% relative humidity.
