CAUTION:
■
Backfeed to a utility system can cause electrocution
and/or property damage. Do not connect to any
building's electrical system except through an
approved device or after building main switch is
opened.
CAUTION:
Never use damaged or worn cables when
connecting power tools or equipment to the
generator. Make sure power connecting cables
are securely connected to the generator’s
output terminals, insufficient tightening of the
terminal connections may cause damage to
the generator and electrical shock.
CAUTION:
DO NOT touch or open any of the below
mentioned components while the generator
is running. Always allow sufficient time for
the engine and generator to cool before
performing maintenance.
Radiator
1. Radiator Cap - Removing the radiator cap while the
engine is hot will result in high pressurized, boiling
water to gush out of the radiator, therefore causing
severe scalding to any persons in the general area
of the generator.
2. Coolant Drain Plug - Removing the coolant drain
plug while the engine is hot will result in hot coolant
to gush out of the coolant drain plug, therefore
causing severe scalding to any persons in the
general area of the generator.
3. Engine Oil Drain Plug - Removing the engine oil
drain plug while the engine is hot will result in hot oil
to gush out of the oil drain plug, therefore causing
severe scalding to any persons in the general area
of the generator.
■
NEVER touch output terminals during operation. This is
extremely dangerous.
Always stop the machine when
contact with the output terminals.
