Safety Warnings and Precautions
Electrical Safety
This generator produces high voltage electricity.
The generator produces enough electric power to cause serious shock
or electrocution if misused.
Always connect the generator to a suitable ground circuit.
When servicing the generator, disconnect the spark plug wire and
place it where it cannot contact the plug. Turn the engine switch to the
OFF position.
Do not check for a spark with the plug removed. Use only approved
spark plug testers.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry and
away from all sources of moisture.
If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather,
check all of the electrical components on the control panel before
each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in
electrical components that could result in electrocution.
Do not connect the generator to a building’s electrical system unless
an isolation switch has been installed that meets applicable electrical
codes and regulations.
To avoid overloading the generator, ensure that the load is kept within
the rated power range stated on the generator. Overloading will
damage the unit and / or shorten its operating lifespan.
Do not attempt to connect P3000iE generators in parallel.
