Safety Instructions

a) Important Safety Instructions

Most accidents involved with PTO-generators can be prevented if you follow all the
instructions in the owners manual. Some of the most common hazards are discussed below.
Reading this manual carefully provides the best way to protect yourself and others.

b) Electric Shock Prevention

Never operate the PTO-generator in rain or snow. Never touch the machine with wet hands or
electrical shock could occur.

c) Connection

Before the PTO-generator can be connected to a building’s electrical system, a licensed
electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch in the building’s main fuse box. The switch
is the connection point for PTO-generator power and allows selection of PTO-generator or
main line power to the building. This will prevent the PTO-generator from charging the main
power line (backfeeding) when the main power supply has failed or has been turned off for
line repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line maintenance personnel. Also, PTO­generator and building electrical system damage can occur when normal operating power
returns if unit is used without an isolation switch.

Do not connect the PTO-generator to commercial power outlet in parallel with any other
generator.

d) Fire Hazard

Gasoline, diesel and other fuels always present a hazard of possible explosion and/or fire.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know its proper use. Fire extinguisher rated ABC by
NFPA is appropriate.

e) Deadly exhaust gas

Exhaust fumes from any engine contain carbon monoxide, an invisible odorless and deadly
gas that must be mixed with fresh air. Operate your PTO-generator only in well-ventilated
areas. Never operate indoors.
