system must be made by a qua ifled eiectrician. The
connection must isolate the generator power fram utiiily
power, and must сотр у with a
I app icab e aws and
electrical codes.
Generatoi' produces powerful voltage.
Failure to Isolate generator from power utility
can result In deatli or injury to electric utility
workers due to backfeed of electi'ical energy.

• Unp ug the char^r from the unit and the wall outlet when
generator is being started and while it is in operation.
• Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in
use to prolong battery ife.The charger has a built in float
