5. Generator Use
Warnings and cautions
n To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be
grounded. Connect a length of heavy cable between the generator's ground
terminal and an external ground source.
n Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made
by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical
codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current from the generator to
back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage. When utility
power is restored the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the
building's electrical system.
n Do not connect the generator to an automatic transfer device. Severe damage to
the inverter module may result.
e. Push the choke knob in to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
