2.7 Using the Generator
Always ground the generator before connecting loads.
Indoor use of a generator can KILL quickly. Generators should be used outdoors only.
WARNING! FUMES HAZARD
• To prevent electrical shock from faulty equipment, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy
cable between the generator’s ground terminal and an external ground source.
• Connections for standby power to Alpha equipment should only be made by authorized and qualified personnel.
• Do not connect the generator to an automatic transfer device or severe damage may result.
WARNING! ELECTRICAL HAZARD
• The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If you use both at the same time, do NOT exceed
the total power for AC and DC.
• Most equipment requires more than its rated wattage for start-up.
• For loads greater than 14 Amps, the Economy Switch might need to be turned OFF if the power supply will not
synchronize to the generator.
