El escape del generador contiene monoxido de carbono. Es un veneno

que no tiene olor ni se puede ver.

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

NUNCA Io use dentro de una casa o garaje, AUN si las puertas y ventanas estan abiertas, $61o uselo EN EXTERIORES y lejos de ventanas, puertas y

ductos de ventilacion.

2.4.1 SYSTEMGROUNO

The generatorhas a system groundthat connectsthe generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. Thesystem groundis bondedto the AC neutralwire in the generatorcontrolpanelvia ajumper wire.

+ 2.4.1.1 SpecialRequirements

There may be Federalor State OccupationalSafety and Health Administration(OSHA)regulations,localcodes, or ordinancesthat applyto the intendeduse ofthe generator.

Pleaseconsult a qualified electrician,electrical inspector, or the local agencyhavingjurisdiction:

* In some areas, generators are requiredto be registeredwith

local utilitycompanies.

* If the generatoris used at a construction site, there may be

additionalregulationswhich must be observed.

+ 2.4.1.2 Connectingtoa Building'sElectricalSystem

Connectionsfor standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolatethe generatorpower from utility poweror other alternative powersources and must complywith all relatedlaws andcodes.

2.4.2 GROUND/NGTHEGENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and

external electrically conductiveparts of this generator be properlyconnectedto an approvedearth ground(Figure 6).

Local electrical codes may also requireproper groundingof the unit. Forthat purpose,connecting a No.10 AWG(AmericanWire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides adequateprotectionagainstelectricalshock. However,localcodes may vary widely. Consultwith a localelectricianfor grounding requirementsin the area.

Proper groundingof the generatorwill help preventelectrical shockin the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded

devices.

Figure6 - Groundingthe Generator

2.4.3 NEUTRALTOFRAMEGROUNDING

If service work is performed on the alternator,DO NOTdiscard the white jumper wires from the terminal block to the alternator ground, locatedon the rear bearingcarrier.Alway make surethe wires are properly connected before using the generator after alternatorservicework is done (Figure7).

Figure7 - Neutra/to FrameGroundWires

DONOT DISCARD

Failure to reconnect these wires may create a potential shock hazard when the generator is

running!

2.4.4 CONNECT/NGELECTR/CALLOADS

DONOTconnect 240 Volt loadsto 120 Volt receptacles.DONOT connect 3-phaseloads to the generator.DO NOTconnect 50 Hz loadsto the generator.

* Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after

starting.

* Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AC, single

phase,60 Hzelectrical loads.

* Add up the ratedwatts (or amps) of all loadsto be connected

at onetime. This total should not be greaterthan (a)the rated wattage/amperagecapacity of the generator or (b) circuit breakerratingof thereceptaclesupplyingthe power.See"Don't

OverloadtheGenerator".

CONNECTGENERATORGROUNDHERE

2.5 DON'TOVERLOADTHEGENERATOR

Overloadinga generatorin excess of its ratedwattage capacity can result in damageto the generatorandto connectedelectrical devices.Observethefollowing to preventoverloadingthe unit:

* Addupthe total wattageofall electricaldevicesto be connected

at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the generator'swattagecapacity.

* The ratedwattageof lights can betaken from light bulbs. The

ratedwattage of tools, appliancesand motors can usually be foundon a data labelor decalaffixedto the device.

* If the appliance,toot or motor does not givewattage, multiply

voltstimes ampereratingto determinewatts (voltsx amps =

watts).

* Some electric motors, such as inductiontypes, requireabout

threetimes more watts of powerfor startingthan for running.

This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting such motors.Makesureto allowfor high startingwattagewhen selectingelectrical devicesto connect to the generator:

1. Figurethe watts neededto start the largestmotor.

2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads.

TheWattageReferenceGuideis providedto assist in determining how many itemsthe generatorcan operateatonetime.
