SAFETY INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DANGER
The electrical voltage required to operate the generator
can cause severe injury or even death through physical
contact with live circuits. Turn generator and all circuit
breakers OFF before performing maintenance on the
generator.
NEVER insert any objects into the output
receptacles during operation. This is
extremely dangerous. The possibility exists
of electrical shock, electrocution or
death.
NEVER operate light tower
or handle any electrical
equipment while standing in
water, while barefoot, while
hands are wet or in the rain.
A dangerous electrical
shock could occur, causing
severe bodily harm or
even death.
ALWAYS make sure the area
above the light tower is open
and clear of overhead power
lines and other obstructions.
The tower extends in excess
of 30 feet (9 meters). Contact
with overhead power
lines or other obstructions
could result in equipment
damage, electrical shock,
electrocution and even
death.
Similar to boom equipment, light tower may become
energized with high voltage. DO NOT operate the light
tower within a radial distance of 17 feet from high voltage
power lines. If light tower becomes energized with high
voltage, contact with the equipment could result in
electrocution.
Backfeed to a utility system can cause electrocution
and/or property damage. NEVER
connect the generator
to a building’s electrical system without a transfer switch
or other approved device. All installations
should be performed by a licensed
electrician in accordance with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or burn, causing serious injury
or even death.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
DANGER
NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.
NEVER use damaged or worn
cables or cords when
connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in
the insulation.
NEVER grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Make sure power cables are securely connected.
Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock and
damage to the light tower.
NOTICE
ALWAYS
make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job.
Grounding Safety
DANGER
The light tower is equipped with a ground terminal for
your protection. ALWAYS
complete the grounding path
from the light tower to an extrnal grounding source.
ALWAYS
make sure that electrical circuits are properly
grounded to a suitable earth ground (ground rod) per
the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes
before operating generator.
Severe injury or death by
electrocution
can result from operating an ungrounded
generator.
NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.
