Owner's Manual
General Precautions (cont'd)
Electrical Safety (cont'd)
= 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.
- The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance with all relevant
electrical codes and standards before operation.
- Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in water, or on wet or
soggy ground.
- Do not touch electrically energized parts of the generator and interconnecting cables or
conductors with any part of the body, or with any non-insulated conductive object.
- Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (110/120 volt) that is compatible with
the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the generator.
= Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the equipment from its power
input.
- Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation is cracked,
cut abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded.
Keep terminals clean and tight.
= Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
= Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
Personal Safety
= Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a generator. Do
not use generator while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating generators may result in serious personal injury.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
7500W Generator
General Precautions (cont'd)
Personal Safety (eont'd)
= Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its "OFF" position, and disconnect
the spark plug wire when not in use.
- Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye
goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
= Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application. The correct generator
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
- Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn it on or off. Any generator that cannot
be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
Generator Use and Care
Make sure the power switch is in its "OFF" position and disconnect the spark plug wire before
making any adjustment, changing accessories, or storing the generator. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the generator accidentally.
Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Generators are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain generators with care. Do not use damaged generator. Tag damaged generators "Do not
use" until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the generator's operation. If damaged, have the generator serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained generators.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one generator may become hazardous when used on another generator.
