Safety Guidelines for Operating the Machine
Connection requirements
The following are required when connecting the generator to a
building’s electrical system.
•
The generator must meet the power, voltage, and frequency
requirements of the equipment in the building.
•
The generator power must be isolated from the utility power.
•
Connections from the generator to a building’s electrical system
must be made by a qualified electrician.
•
Electrical connections must comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes.
DANGER
Carbon monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot
see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But
even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
f NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly
enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
f ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents.
These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
f Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS
use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
f If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running,
move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide
poison.
WARNING
Electrocution, fire, or explosion hazards. Improper connection of generator to a
building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to back-
feed into utility lines. This may result in electrocution, serious injury, or death to util-
ity workers!
f Comply with the connection requirements described below.
