Using
a
generator
indoors
CAN
KILL
YOU
IN
MINUTES.
Generator
exhaust
contains
carbon
monoxide.
This
is
a
poison
you
cannot
see
or
smell.
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.
Grounding
the
generator
when
used
as
a
portable
This generator has
an
equipment ground that connects the
generator frame components
to
the ground terminals
on
the AC
output receptacles (see NEC 250.34
(A)
for explanation). This
allows the generator
to
be used as a portable without grounding
the frame
of
the generator as specified
in
NEC 250.34.
Special
Requirements
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply
to
the intended use
of
the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the
local agency having jurisdiction:
•
In
some areas, generators are required
to
be registered with
local utility companies.
• If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be
additional regulations which must be observed.
Connecting
the
generator
to
a
building's
electrical
system
When connecting directly
to
a building's electrical system, it
is
recommended that a manual transfer switch is used. Connections
for a portable generator
to
a building's electrical system must be
made
by
a qualified electrician and
in
strict compliance with all
national and local electrical codes and laws.
