10.CAUTION: This generator is not
intended to power sensitive electronic equipment* without the addition of an appropriate line conditioner and surge protector (both not included). Sensitive electronic equipment should be operated on approved inverter type generators or pure sine wave generators.
If the plugged in product operates abnormally or unusually slow, immediately stop using the generator as a power source. Always read and adhere to the instruction manual of the
product to be powered, to make sure that it can be safely and efficiently powered by a portable generator.
Note: When using a generator to provide home standby electricity, a transfer switch (sold separately) is needed to prevent back feeding power into the utility line.
Connections for standby power to a building 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.
WARNING: Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility
company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.
*Sensitive electronic equipment includes, but is not limited to, audio/ video equipment, some television sets, computers, and printers.

AC APPLICATIONS
1.Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator: Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electrical shock.
2.If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately.
Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
3.Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
4.Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker or circuit protector
OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
Save these instructions.
2.All connections and conduits from the Generator to the load must only be installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable.
3.The Generator must be earth-grounded in accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation.
•A 10-gauge copper wire should be used to connect the ground terminal of the Generator to a grounding rod.
A wire that is too thin may not provide sufficient electrical current carrying capacity to be an adequate ground path.
